Deaths from attack by Houthi rebels on government military camp in southern Yemen rise to 53, provincial government says

Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile attack on a government military camp in southern Yemen's Shabwa province on Monday, targeting government forces and new recruits. The strike resulted in at least 53 deaths among soldiers and fighters.

The attack marks one of the deadliest incidents in a recent resurgence of fighting in the region this summer. Provincial authorities confirmed the rising death toll, while the Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the strike. The escalation follows a series of deadly attacks over the weekend that were blamed on Saudi-led forces.
