Houthi-affiliated media says Saudi airstrikes kill 10 in Yemen

Over the past 24 hours, the Houthi-affiliated media reported that Saudi airstrikes carried out in Yemen's Taiz and Al-Jawf governorates resulted in 10 deaths and 14 injuries. Eight civilians were killed and 11 others were wounded in Taiz, while two civilians perished and three were injured in Al-Jawf, as per Al-Masirah TV channel.

The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has been intensifying its offensive in recent weeks, aiming to seize control over the Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategically vital waterway. This offensive is part of their broader strategy to gain more influence in the region, alongside their ongoing drone and missile strikes against Saudi Arabia.

The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since the Houthis took control of the capital, Sanaa, in 2014. This unrest escalated in July when the truce between the warring parties was breached. Since then, the conflict has claimed hundreds of lives and forced tens of thousands to flee their homes.
