Houthi attacks on military positions in Yemen’s Marib and Hadhramaut killed at least 30 government troops and wounded 50, Yemeni officials told Siasat. Times Now, citing AFP, reported a higher toll of at least 58 dead and described the fighting as the deadliest since 2022. The Saudi-led coalition separately said a Houthi attack on Najran wounded 11 civilians, including seven Saudis, one Yemeni, two Egyptians and one Pakistani. The injured included a woman and a four-year-old child. The Houthis claimed attacks on troop concentrations but had not claimed responsibility for the Najran strike. Saudi officials also warned of possible coordinated attacks from Iraq and Yemen.
