Yemen: Several government soldiers killed in attack
16 soldiers from the Yemeni government have been killed and over 20 wounded in an attack by the Iran-backed Houthi movement, according to medical sources.
The attack occurred in the province of al-Hudaydah (Hodeidah) on the Red Sea late on Friday and continued into early Saturday morning with intense artillery fire.
Two medical sources said 16 soldiers loyal to Yemen's internationally recognized government were killed and 22 wounded in the attack, the first of its kind in years in al-Hudaydah.
According to military and local sources, the target of the attack was government positions on Mount Dabas in the Hays area.
The Houthis have been at war with the government since 2015 in a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and triggered a massive humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
