Deadly strikes kills at least 2 as fighting intensifies in Yemen

At least 2 people were killed and several others wounded after strikes hit a gas station in Yemen's Taiz province amid intensifying fighting.

Houthi-run health officials blamed government forces for the attack, though the claims could not be independently verified.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch warned that separate Houthi bombings severely damaged a vital supply road into the besieged provincial capital, Taiz, worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis as food, fuel, and medical supplies ran dangerously low.

The recent fighting had revived the civil war in Yemen after four years of calm while 600,000 residents in Taiz who depend on aid are cut off from the World Food Program.
