The Houthi movement in Yemen has launched a series of attacks on Saudi-backed troops belonging to the internationally recognised Yemeni government. According to Middle East Eye, more than 60 Saudi-backed troops were killed between Thursday and Friday, marking the deadliest toll since the civil war stalled under a 2022 truce.

The attacks included missile and drone strikes on the eastern Yemeni city of Marib, with Yemeni armed forces reportedly shooting down several Houthi drones over the city, as per CBS News. Videos on social media showed smoke rising over Marib.

The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, announced on Thursday that the group had carried out a "large-scale and special military operation" targeting Saudi military positions, CBS News reported.
