On November 1, Yemen’s Information Minister claimed that the Houthis (as Ansar Allah are known) carried out a missile attack on the Yemeni province of Ma’rib. The fighters reportedly killed or wounded 29 civilians.
According to the claims of Muammar al-Iryani, two Houthi ballistic missiles hit a mosque and a religious school in the residential neighborhood of al-Aumd, killing and wounding civilians, including women and children.
The Marib governor’s office confirmed the attack, adding that it took place late on October 31.
In their turn, the Houthi are yet to comment on the attack.
The only video that is reportedly showing the damage was shared on social media.

If confirmed, this is the second Houthi attack with ballistic missiles targeting the Yemen’s Ma’rib in recent days. However, the previous attack did not target civilian settlements.
On October 28, the Houthis hit the house of Sheikh Abdul Latif al-Qibli Nimran, a Saudi-backed tribal leader, in the town of Al Sayyad with a ballistic missile, according to pro-Saudi media sources.
Sheikh Abdul Latif survived the pinpoint missile strike. However, twelve people, including two of the Sheikh’s children, were killed.
The claims of a new missile attack came amid the Houthi rapid advance on Ma’rib frontlines.

On October 31, Ansar Allah captured Masqa, Mahwal, Hasamah, Harjah, Ya’rah, ‘Ajma, Be’r Sheikh wa Husur and Sawad mountain north of Jubah district.
The group has recently concluded the second phase of Operation Spring of Victory, marked by capturing of the districts of al-Jubah and Jabal Murad. The group’s fighters also seized the town of al-Jarashah which is located some 35 kilometers to the south of Ma’rib city.
The Saudi-led forces are making their best attempting to stop the Houthis in their advance in the strategically important district.
As the fierce clashes continue in the area, on October 31, the Saudi-led coalition announced that its warplane carried out 57 airstrikes on Houthi forces in the central Yemeni province of Ma’rib over the last 72 hours.
LMFAO, it is a war – no shit the civilians gonna die, also coming from Yemen’s Information Minister (A.K.A Wahhabi Sunni pig). How many civilians KSA with the US killed in Yemen? ohhh we can’t talk about that now can we?
That pig is not a sunni not even a Muslim.
They’ve targeted Saudi founded ‘madrasa’ that breeds and spread black poxes, named Wahhabis. Place of Shaitan worship full of snakes. They would use even kids for a cover. This or the other way. Yemeni freedom fighters knows exactly what is happening there, and these sources citated by sf are not trustworthy. That hole is way to small for the impact of Badr 1 ballistic missile that Yemenis use., because it is equipped with total of 90 kg warhead. They attacked Shaitan breeding nest, Snake’s head.
