Yemen – The death toll from Saturday’s missile attack on a military training camp here has risen to at least 111, the government said.
The missile struck a mosque at the al-Estiqbal camp in Marib where soldiers had gathered for evening prayers.
The government blamed the rebel Houthi movement, but it did not immediately confirm it had launched the missile.
Initial reports about the attack said at least 80 soldiers were killed.
But by Sunday the death toll had risen to at least 111, authorities said.
The fighting between the Houthis and forces loyal to the government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition, has devastated the country, killed an estimated 100,000 people, and triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.(BBC)
