 A spokesman for the southern forces and a medical source said that at least 30 soldiers were martyred and at least 60 others were wounded in the terrorist attack launched by the Houthi militia on the Al-Anad military base in Lahj governorate, southern Yemen.

Muhammad al-Naqib, the official spokesman for the southern forces, said that the Houthis carried out several attacks using armed drones and ballistic missiles on the Al-Anad military base.

He said that between 30 and 40 soldiers were killed and at least 60 were wounded, adding that the death toll was likely to rise because rescue workers were still combing the place.

The attack, which was carried out with three ballistic missiles and a drone, is the latest against the southern forces, in the wake of Houthi and Brotherhood threats to target the Arab coalition forces in southern Yemen.
