Yemen's Houthis declared on Thursday that they had launched missile and drone assaults on "Saudi military deployments" within the Saudi-backed government's control in Marib and Hadramout regions of Yemen. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree attributed the attacks to Saudi Arabia's "large military buildup" in the country and claimed that in retaliation, "our armed forces conducted a large-scale and precise military operation targeting Saudi enemy troop concentrations."

This action resulted in the deaths and injuries of several Saudi soldiers. Saree urged those who were misled and deceived by the Saudi enemy to leave their camps and return home before it was too late. Addressing Yemeni people across all governorates, Saree assured them that the armed forces were fully prepared to respond to any escalation.

According to medical sources, at least 38 Saudi-backed Yemeni government troops were killed in the Houthi attacks.
