Bayda is controlled by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who have been at war with Yemen’s internationally recognised government for more than a decade, in a civil war that has left more than 150,000 people dead and sparked one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Saturday’s blast also came a day after Israeli warplanes bombed a power station and two ports in Yemen in retaliation for Houthi drone and missile strikes against Israel. The strikes hit the ports of Ras Issa and Hodeidah, as well as the Hezyaz central power station in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, while the Harf Sufyan District in Amran province also came under air attack, according to Al Masirah TV, the main Houthi-run news outlet.
