A Houthi-fired missile struck a camp in Yemen, killing at least 53 people, with footage showing bodies lying on the ground.
A missile launched by Yemen's Houthi movement hit a civilian camp, resulting in at least 53 fatalities, according to local reports. Video footage circulating on social media shows the aftermath, with numerous bodies strewn across the ground and rescue teams attempting to retrieve the injured.
The strike comes amid intensified fighting between the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognised government, which has escalated civilian casualties in recent weeks. Humanitarian agencies have warned that such attacks jeopardise aid delivery to already vulnerable populations.
The United Nations has called for an immediate investigation and urged all parties to respect international humanitarian law, emphasizing the need to protect civilians and aid workers in conflict zones.
Local authorities have not yet released detailed information on the exact location of the camp or the identity of the victims, but the incident is expected to heighten calls for a cease‑fire and increased protection for humanitarian sites.
The video, verified by multiple outlets, underscores the grim reality on the ground and has prompted renewed international condemnation of the use of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas.
