Airstrikes hit homes in a village near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 30 others, mostly women and children. A spokesman for Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry, Anees Alasbahi, accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the strikes on al-Shariya. Saudi Arabia's Information Ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment, and the claims could not be independently verified.
Escalating Conflict
The attack follows a separate strike on Friday that killed at least 30 people at a market in southern Yemen. The Houthis and Yemen's Saudi-backed military blamed each other for that incident. Footage from the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV showed rescue workers carrying young children out of ambulances at a local hospital and rubble from destroyed houses in the village.
Context
These events reflect the rapid worsening of Yemen's civil war after a years-long truce broke down over the summer. Fighting has intensified across the country between the Iranian-backed Houthis and Saudi-backed forces based in the south and east.

What Happened
Airstrikes hit homes in a village near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killing 22 people and wounding 30 others, following an earlier market strike in southern Yemen that left 30 dead.
Why It Matters
The deadly strikes highlight the complete breakdown of a years-long truce in Yemen's civil war. This escalation risks further destabilizing the region as fighting intensifies between Iranian-backed Houthi forces and Saudi-backed opponents, deepening a severe humanitarian crisis affecting vulnerable civilians, particularly women and children.
What Happens Next
It remains unclear if international mediators can revive diplomatic efforts to restore the truce. Observers will monitor whether retaliatory strikes continue to escalate along the Red Sea and near strategic areas like Taiz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
