A Houthi militia-launched missile fell in a village in the Sahban area of Ibb Governorate, central Yemen, on Friday evening shortly after its launch from Al-Hamza camp, raising concerns for civilian safety. Activists and human rights advocates reported that the Iran-backed Houthi militia fired the missile from the camp after evening prayers. However, it failed to continue its trajectory and landed near a village in the area. The incident has caused fear among residents. The extent of potential damage and whether there were any casualties remains unclear at this time. This event occurs amid escalating military operations on the fronts of Taiz Governorate and the western coast. Local reports indicate a recent increase in Houthi missile launches, targeting service facilities and populated areas, in addition to missiles falling in rural regions after failing to reach their intended objectives. |
