According to information received by the Yemeni press from local sources, the Houthis targeted the Al-Alam Military Training Camp in the city of Shabwa with several ballistic missiles today.

It was stated that more than 50 people were killed and injured in the attack.

It was reported that the emergency room of Shabwa General Hospital was filled with injured people after the attack that took place in the camp where new personnel were receiving training to join the security forces.

It was noted that citizens were urgently called to donate blood in order to support the treatment of the injured.

While there is no official statement yet from the local government and health authorities regarding the exact number of those killed and injured in the attack, it was stated that the injured are still being transferred to hospitals.

Yemen is the scene of a civil war that started after the Iran-backed Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014. The Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Yemeni government, which is recognized by the international community, since March 2015.
