Houthi Ballistic Missile Strike Kills Four Civilians in Yemen's Taiz Amid Intensified Clashes

A Houthi ballistic missile strike killed four civilians and injured ten others on the Hayjat al-Abd road in Yemen's southern Taiz province. The missile reportedly targeted passenger vehicles, destroying a bus and temporarily closing a key route. This incident occurred amidst a third consecutive day of fierce clashes between Yemeni government forces and the Houthi group across the western provinces of Taiz and Hodeidah. Government warplanes also conducted at least 15 airstrikes against Houthi positions.
