DUBAI – A missile fired by the Iran-aligned Houthi group struck a military parade in Yemen’s town of al-Dhalea, killing at least seven people and wounding others, government-allied forces said on Sunday.

The missile struck a parade ground where a military graduation for Security Belt forces had just finished, officials said. No one claimed responsibility for the incident.

Seven people died, among them four children, and 25 were injured, according to the local forces’ spokesman.   

In August, the Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile and drone attack on a parade in Aden, the seat of the internationally recognized government, killing around 36 people, including a prominent commander.(Reuters)
