According to some sources at least 11 soldiers were killed and nearly 20 others injured when Houthi-fired missile hit the 4th Military Brigade in the northern areas of Dhalea.

All the injured soldiers were transferred immediately via medical ambulances to receive treatment in Dhalea's hospitals.

Last month, a ballistic missile fired by the Houthi rebels struck a military graduation parade of the newly-recruited forces in the southern Yemeni province of Dhalea, killing around 10 soldiers and injuring several others.
