Houthi officials say at least 25 people were killed and 30 hurt in air strikes in northern Yemen. They blame the Saudi-led coalition. Houthi-run media say nine attacks hit phone and internet networks in Saada province.
The coalition has not commented on the reports. Casualty numbers from the war are hard to check. Both sides often give different counts, and reporters have limited access to the area.
π The Backstory
Yemen has been at war since 2014, when the Houthis took the capital, Sanaa. A Saudi-led coalition entered the fight in 2015 to push them back. The war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and left millions short of food.
Peace talks have stalled for years. Fights over phone towers and power lines matter a lot. They cut whole towns off from news, banks and family.
π― Why It Matters
Strikes on phone networks leave towns cut off, so rescue teams cannot be called. Each new attack makes peace in Yemen harder to reach.
