  "summary": "At least 17 soldiers and an officer were killed in Houthi attacks in Yemen's Marib and Hadramout, according to the Yemeni military. The attacks were carried out with ballistic missiles and drones, and were in response to an alleged military buildup backed by neighbouring Saudi Arabia, as stated by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree.\n\nThe Yemeni military stated that the attacks will not deter them from fulfilling their national mission, and that they will continue to perform their duties with full readiness and efficiency.\n\nThe number of casualties reported varies, with Free Malaysia Today citing a military source that put the death toll at 58 government troops, while medical sources reported 38 dead.",
