Yemen Conflict Intensifies with Houthi Attacks and Saudi-Aligned Strikes Amid Regional Tensions
Fighting in Yemen escalates as Iran-backed Houthi forces release footage claiming attacks on Saudi-backed troops, including strikes on a Shabwa training camp and missile attacks inside Saudi Arabia. Government-aligned forces report over 1,300 strikes against Houthi targets and more than 300 fighters killed in 24 hours, though these figures are unverified. The Houthis have released 159 prisoners amid ongoing clashes. Meanwhile, Egypt expresses support for Saudi Arabia and conducts military drills amid concerns of broader regional tensions.
