At least 53 people have been killed in a Houthi ballistic missile attack on a training camp for Yemeni government forces, making it the largest single loss of life since the country’s civil war reignited in September. The attack on al-Alam camp in the southern Shabwa province was said to have injured more than 200 others, mostly young recruits, and described as a disaster by the country’s UN-recognised government. The injured were taken from the police and army training camp in the Jardan district to a hospital in the local capital, Ataq, where pleas for blood donations were made.

A Saudi airstrike on Sunday killed nine, including five children and two women.
