Description
In Yemen, authorities say Houthi forces fired ballistic missiles at a military camp on Monday, killing at least 53 soldiers and injuring 200 more. The attack was one of the deadliest strikes since a resurgence in fighting between the Iran-backed group and government forces this summer. It comes a day after Houthi health officials say an airstrike by Saudi-led forces killed at least nine people in rebel-held territory in Yemen's north. The Saudi government has not commented on that incident. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
