The attack killed 51-year-old civilian Haifa Zawqari—a mother and public health professor at Aden University—and injured six others, including a child and two women. According to multiple eyewitnesses, Coalition jets first struck a stone factory about 200 meters away, where members of Ansar Allah (Houthis) were apparently stationed.
