SANAA, Yemen — When Yemen’s internationally recognized government led by President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi blamed the Houthis for ballistic missile and drone strikes on its military training camp in Marib governorate on Jan. 18, the Houthis remained silent.
Two hours following the strike, which took place during evening prayers, the Saudi and government media blamed the Houthis for the attack. The Yemeni rebels have yet to take credit for the attack, which killed at least 116 soldiers. Iranian PressTV attributed the attack to “Ansarullah,” in reference to the Iran-backed group.
