According to al-Masirah television, citing local sources, several airstrikes struck a public market in the provincial capital of al-Hazm, while another hit the nearby al-Tayseer fuel station, causing casualties at both locations.

Local sources said the targeted area was civilian and contained no military installations, while reports indicated that some victims remained trapped beneath the rubble.

Witnesses described widespread devastation, with body parts scattered across the area, wounded civilians awaiting medical assistance and families searching for missing relatives.

Late Wednesday, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said the latest attacks targeted the capital, Sana’a, and several provinces, including al-Jawf, Hajjah, Sa’ada, ‘Amran, al-Mahwit, Ta’iz, Dhale and Lahij.

The reported attacks brought the total number of Saudi airstrikes and missile attacks since July to 3,480, according to the Yemeni military.

In response to the strikes in al-Jawf, a local resident linked the attacks to Saudi military losses on various Yemeni front lines, describing the bombardment as evidence of weakness and calling on the Yemeni Armed Forces to respond proportionately.

Hamid Al-Rafiq, an adviser to the Yemeni Ministry of Justice, said international law prohibits attacks on markets and other civilian sites, describing the incident as a war crime and a crime against humanity.

He urged international human rights organizations to draw attention to the reported violations and hold those responsible accountable.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement warned that continued Saudi attacks would not go unanswered.

“The House of Saud’s insistence on the massacre of innocent Muslims clearly shows that the Riyadh regime has no connection to Islam. The attack on a public market reveals Saudi Arabia’s deep-seated malice toward the Yemeni nation, and its deliberate intention to inflict the greatest possible harm upon them,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a prominent member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, said.

Al-Bukhaiti also condemned the international community’s and human rights organizations’ for their silence, slamming them for aiding and abetting Saudi Arabia in its military campaign and siege against Yemen.

The latest escalation comes amid a broader confrontation over restrictions on Yemen and maritime activity in the region.

On July 20, the Sana’a government announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia in response to what it called “an unjust and oppressive siege” imposed on Yemen for almost 12 years.

Since then, the Yemeni Armed Forces have reported operations against vessels associated with Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, as well as retaliatory attacks on targets deep inside the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a military offensive against Yemen in March 2015 and imposed a blockade, receiving military, political and logistical support from the United States and several Western countries.

The conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, while Saudi Arabia has failed to achieve its stated objective of restoring a government in Yemen aligned with its interests.
