Houthi rebel attacks kill at least 30 Yemeni government forces, officials say

The rebels said they used missiles and drones after alleging Saudi-backed mobilizations, and officials said the toll could rise as more information emerges.

  • Houthi rebel attacks on military camps in Marib and Hadhramaut killed at least 30 troops and wounded at least 50 others on Thursday, Yemeni government officials reported.
  • The strikes represent the deadliest military escalation in Yemen since the 2022 truce, which halted major fighting between the Iranian-backed Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition backing the internationally recognized government.
  • Military sources stated the Houthis launched eight missiles from Jawf, targeting camps in Thiniya, Abr, and Rouk, including facilities run by the Emergency Forces.
  • The Yemeni military framed the strikes as a response to their own recent attacks, while the Houthis promised a statement regarding a "Major" military operation shortly.
  • Officials warned that casualty numbers are expected to rise further as the ongoing violence continues an uptick in regional hostilities following years of civil war in Yemen.
