Houthi rebels have launched new attacks on Saudi-backed troops in Yemen. According to France 24, at least eight members of Yemeni government forces and two civilians were killed in the attacks, which took place in an oil-rich province.
The National UAE reports that the Houthi rebels have caused casualties among Yemeni government forces in several provinces, including Marib, Hadhramaut, and Hodeidah. In Marib, two people were killed and 14 injured in attacks on displacement camps, officials said.
The Houthi movement killed more than 60 Saudi-backed troops belonging to the internationally recognised Yemeni government between Thursday and Friday, marking the deadliest toll since the civil war stalled under a 2022 truce, according to Middle East Eye.
