Houthi Attacks Kill Dozens of Yemeni Troops Amid Rising Regional Tensions
Houthi rebels launched missile and drone attacks on Yemeni government forces in Marib and Hadramout provinces, killing at least 30 to 38 troops and injuring dozens more. The Houthis claimed targeting Saudi-backed military positions, describing the strikes as responses to Saudi military build-ups. The Yemeni government condemned the attacks and vowed retaliation. Additionally, the Houthis claimed missile strikes on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, part of a maritime blockade. Saudi Arabia reported civilian injuries from Houthi attacks near its border, marking a significant escalation since a 2022 truce.
