A state news agency said no warplanes conducted airstrikes in the market area
that day and that a Houthi-launched ballistic missile attack failed, causing the
incident. Houthi-controlled Masirah TV said the market was hit by three Saudi
airstrikes, resulting in more than 30 casualties. A Yemeni government official
said the attack killed at least 28 civilians and wounded dozens, several
critically, and that the death toll could rise.
