al-Alam camp

Al-Alam camp, located in the southern Shabwa province of Yemen, has recently become the site of a significant Houthi attack. The camp was reportedly training Yemeni government forces and was described as being run by Saudi officers by the Houthi military spokesman. The camp is newsworthy due to a devastating ballistic missile strike carried out by the Houthis on a gathering of forces there. This attack, which occurred in September, resulted in the deaths of at least 53 people, primarily young recruits, and injured over 200 others, marking the largest single loss of life since the Yemeni civil war intensified. The Houthis claimed the strike targeted "Saudi enemy" forces. The incident highlights the ongoing and escalating conflict in Yemen, with al-Alam camp serving as a focal point of recent military actions and a symbol of the severe human cost of the civil war.
