Houthi forces strike again in Yemen’s Marib governorate, prompting retaliatory action by government forces. Yemen’s army says it responds against Houthi units on multiple fronts along the lines of contact and says it will take “necessary military measures” if its positions are targeted further. The army does not provide operational details or specific timing.
The reported attacks come as the United Nations warns Yemen is nearing a wider conflict. One report says the Houthis launch ballistic missiles and drones at displacement camps and residential neighborhoods in the city of Marib, with local authorities and SABA citing two deaths and 14 injuries. Other outlets focus more on the government’s statement about countermeasures and the broader warning from the UN rather than casualty specifics.
Across the reports, the key points are the renewed fighting around Marib, the government’s claimed responses on several fronts, and the UN’s concern that the conflict could escalate beyond current boundaries.
