The Houthis have launched a sixth ballistic missile at the Yemeni city of Marib, according to the Marib governorate. The governorate reported that the ongoing assault threatens the lives of civilians, displaced persons' camps, and residential neighbourhoods.

Earlier attacks had caused injuries and damage. A civilian was injured in a fifth missile hit on a bakery in Al-Sharika neighbourhood, while four ballistic missile and four drone attacks that preceded it also caused injuries to people and damaged homes, cars and other civilian property, as per the Marib governorate.

Yemeni government forces had responded to earlier Houthi attacks by striking Houthi positions and arms depots in Marib. They accused the Houthis of firing three ballistic missiles at densely populated districts and shot down a Houthi drone over Marib, with reports of casualties after a Houthi missile strike on a displacement camp.
