Houthi Attacks Kill Dozens of Yemeni Troops, Injure Civilians Near Saudi Border
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 strikes on Saudi-backed military camps and oil tankers as part of a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia reported injuries to 11 civilians, including a child, in attacks near the Yemen border. The violence marks a significant escalation since a 2022 truce, raising concerns of renewed conflict in Yemen and heightened regional tensions.
