Houthi Attacks Kill 30 Government Soldiers in Marib and Hadhramaut
A major escalation in Yemen saw Houthi rebels launch coordinated ballistic missile and drone strikes on military camps in Marib and Hadhramaut provinces, killing at least 30 government troops and wounding 50. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree confirmed the operations, characterizing them as a response to "Saudi military buildups." The attack marks the most significant breach of the de facto truce since April 2022 and coincides with delicate negotiations regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
