Casualties and Injuries in Yemen Arms Depot Explosion

A responsible source in the health office of Yemen reported that six people were killed, including three children, and at least eight others were injured due to an explosion at an arms depot belonging to the Yemeni army in the city of Marib, eastern Yemen, which is believed to have been caused by a Houthi attack. Local sources told "Sky News Arabia" that “three children and three young men were killed, with eight wounded, most of whom are from the Al-Jufaina displacement camp in Marib governorate.” Three sources, one of them military, indicated that a weapons depot belonging to the third military region of the Yemeni army exploded after being attacked by Houthi forces on Monday evening. The sources, who requested anonymity, told "Arabi21" that the explosions shook the city of Marib, the administrative center of the governorate of the same name, with rockets and projectiles scattering over a displacement camp and residential neighborhoods near the arms and ammunition depot. They noted that four civilians in a displacement camp were killed, including children, and five others were injured after rockets and projectiles fell from the Yemeni army's weapons depot following the attack by the Houthis.
