Taiz:A Yemeni human rights center reported the death of 51 civilians and injuries to 85 others, including 43 children and 19 women, due to Houthi attacks in Yemen's southwestern Taiz province over a 12-day period.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the Taiz Human Rights Center stated that the period covered November 1-12 and noted the casualties were due to attacks involving ballistic missiles, artillery shelling, sniper fire, gunfire, and landmines. The report highlighted that 13 children and three women were among those killed, while the injured included 30 children and 16 women.

The center further detailed that three attacks targeting Al-Najd market in Al-Misrakh district, Al-Athawer village in Haifan district, and the Al-Hadara popular market in Al-Wazi'iyah district collectively resulted in 43 civilian deaths and 30 injuries. Additionally, these attacks were accompanied by abductions, raids on homes, and destruction of property, health, and educational facilities.

The Houthis have not yet commented on the figures provided. Meanwhile, Yemeni armed forces have vowed to continue operations under 'Dawn of Yemen,' aiming to restore state institutions from Houthi control and recapture the capital, Sanaa. This military operation was initiated on October 5, as stated by Rashad al-Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council.

The conflict between government forces and the Houthis has intensified since July, particularly around the strategic Taiz province. This escalation has disrupted a period of relative calm that began in April 2022, exacerbating Yemen's humanitarian crisis. Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government against the Houthis since 2015.
