SANAA – At least 30 government soldiers were killed in a Houthi missile attack on a military base in southern Yemen on Sunday, according to a spokesman for Yemen’s southern forces.
Mohamed al-Naqeeb said a ballistic missile struck al-Anad base in the southern Lahij province.
He added that 60 soldiers were injured in the attack.
There was no comment from the Houthi group on the attack.
Al-Anad, 60 kilometers north of the city of Aden, is one of the largest military bases in Yemen.
Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when Iran-aligned Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including this city. The crisis escalated in 2015 when a Saudi-led coalition launched a devastating air campaign aimed at rolling back Houthi territorial gains.(Anadolu Agency)
