Death toll from Houthi strikes on Yemen base rises to 30 60 wounded

The attack was reported at Al-Anad air base in the government-held southern province of Lahij.
The internationally recognised government - backed by a Saudi-led military coalition - and the Iran-allied Huthi rebels have been locked in war since 2014, when the insurgents seized the capital Sanaa.
Armed forces spokesman Mohammed al-Naqib said there were casualties, without giving numbers, accusing the rebels of launching missile and drone strikes.
A local pro-government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed fatalities.
There was no immediate comment from the rebel side.
In 2019, the Huthis said they launched a drone strike on Al-Anad during a military parade, with medics and government sources saying at the time at least six loyalists were killed -- including a high-ranking intelligence official.
Al-Anad, some 60 kilometres (40 miles) north of Yemen's second city Aden, was the headquarters for US troops overseeing a long-running drone war against Al-Qaeda until March 2014 when it was overrun by the Huthi rebels.
