Sana’a (Terror Monitor) — Iran-backed Houthi forces say their attacks against Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen are continuing.
According to AFP, at least 11 people were killed in attacks on Sunday.
A medical source in the Yemeni city of Mokha told AFP that the attacks came several hours after drone strikes targeted a Saudi oil refinery.
The source said three civilians and eight military personnel were killed in the Houthi attacks. Mokha is located in an area controlled by Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council.
The council is internationally recognized as Yemen’s government and is based in Aden. It is backed by Saudi Arabia and its allies, who are fighting the Houthis.
Medical sources said 32 people were also wounded in the attacks, including six civilians.
