At least 38 government troops were killed and 29 others wounded in missile and drone strikes by Houthis on Thursday, marking the deadliest assault on Yemen's internationally recognized government since the 2022 UN-brokered truce, according to AFP. The Houthis claimed the attacks were in response to the "Saudi-backed military buildup" as the Yemen conflict intensifies alongside the US-Iran confrontation.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree stated that the group targeted government military positions with ballistic missiles and drones, specifically mentioning al-Ruwaik, al-Thaniyah, and al-Abr as sites hit. Saree warned, "We are prepared to confront any escalation."
