At least 30 soldiers were killed and 60 wounded in Iran-backed Houthi strikes on a military base in Lahj, about 60km north of Aden, southern forces spokesman Mohamed al-Naqeeb said on Sunday.
Military personnel in Al-Anad airbase were conducting a training exercise when the attack took place, an Al Arabiya TV source confirmed.
Medics said they received seven bodies and treated more than 50 people injured in the attack on al-Anad air base in the government-held southern province of Lahij.
Southern forces spokesman Mohammed al-Naqib told AFP there were casualties, without giving numbers, accusing the Houthis of launching missile and drone strikes.
A local pro-government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed fatalities.
In 2019, The Houthis launched a drone strike at the base during a military parade, killing at least six military personnel, including a high-ranking intelligence official.
