Houthi Missile Strike Hits Clinic in Lahj, Causing Civilian Casualties

Dozens of civilians, including displaced persons, were killed and injured Sunday evening when the Houthi militia launched a ballistic missile strike targeting a health center in the Al-Saqaya area of Khor Amira, Lahj Governorate, southern Yemen.

Local sources reported that the missile attack struck the health center, resulting in numerous civilian casualties, comprising both fatalities and injuries. The sources further indicated that several displaced individuals were among the victims, and the facility sustained significant material damage due to the assault.

The Houthi militia has a documented history of targeting civilian infrastructure, including health facilities and camps for displaced people. These repeated violations of international humanitarian law have frequently resulted in civilian and displaced person casualties, occurring amidst a perceived lack of significant international response.
