Yemen: Houthis report 30 dead at Al-Hadara market as responsibility is disputed

The Houthis report 30 dead and eight injured after the 6 November 2026 attack on Al-Hadara market in Al-Waziyah, Taiz province, according to AP. They blame Saudi Arabia; local authorities aligned with Yemen’s government reject that account and blame the Houthis.

The Houthi military spokesperson says three airstrikes hit the market. Taiz authorities maintain that no air operation took place in the district that day. Al Jazeera reports their call to preserve physical evidence for an independent technical examination.

AP says it could not independently verify either side’s accusations. The casualty count remains attributed to Houthi health officials, while local authorities acknowledge casualties without providing a detailed toll. The weapon, its origin and responsibility have not been established.
