Death toll from Houthi strike on Yemen government camp rises to 73

Local Yemeni authorities on Tuesday raised the death toll from a Houthi strike a day earlier on a military camp belonging to government forces to 73, as fighting between the foes escalates. It marked the deadliest attack in weeks as fighting between the Iran-aligned Houthis and Yemen's internationally recognised, Saudi-supported government rages after the collapse of a years-long truce. The death toll from Monday's strike on the camp in the energy-rich Shabwa province "increased to 73 martyrs, while search and follow-up efforts are ongoing to discover the fate of 14 missing people", authorities said in a statement. Local authorities had put the death toll at 53 on Monday, adding that more than 200 others were injured, all new members of the internal security forces who were undergoing training.
