SULAIMANI — A boat laden with local residents capsized off
western Yemen's al-Hudaydah province, killing at least 14 people, all women and
children, the Houthi group said on Wednesday (March 8).
According to a statement cited by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV,
the boat capsized in the coastal area of al-Khouba between Alluheyah district
and Kamaran Island, an island within al-Hudaydah province.
The Houthi group, which controls the area where the incident
took place, added that the dead people are 11 women and three children, while
11 others survived.
The group's statement, however, did not give any further
detail on the incident.
Meanwhile, the Houthi-affiliated September26 website said an
investigation is underway to identify the cause of the incident.
