Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

30 Yemeni Soldiers Killed in Attack During Military Exercise

HeadlineAug 30, 2021

In southern Yemen, at least 30 soldiers were killed and 60 others injured Sunday, after Houthi rebels fired missiles from a drone at a Saudi-led coalition air base. The attack struck dozens of soldiers on morning military exercises. It came as U.N.-brokered peace talks between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have stalled. Since 2015, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen have killed nearly 1,500 civilians per year on average, a quarter of them children, while sparking the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
