A series of explosions at four gas stations in Yemen's Al-Bayda province resulted in at least 15 deaths and 67 injuries, with 40 of the injured in critical condition, according to the Health Ministry under the internationally unrecognized Houthi-led government. The blasts occurred in the Nassefa area of the Al-Zahir district on Saturday night. The cause of the explosions remains under investigation by security forces, with no further details provided. The presence of gas stations in residential areas has contributed to repeated accidents in Yemen, which is grappling with a prolonged civil war that has devastated its infrastructure and exacerbated a humanitarian crisis.
