The Story in Brief
At least 30 Yemeni government troops were killed and 50 wounded in Houthi attacks on camps in Marib and Hadramout, Yemeni officials told The New Indian Express. Yemen’s army confirmed deaths and injuries but gave no toll. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said ballistic missiles and drones targeted Saudi-backed forces gathering for an attack, claiming hundreds were killed or injured. NDTV Profit also reported the Houthi claim that the strikes hit large Saudi military build-ups. The attacks mark a sharp escalation since a de facto truce halted major fighting in April 2022, though Yemen’s wider civil war has continued.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that this is simply a Saudi invasion, or that the Houthis have already delivered a decisive victory, both run ahead of the evidence. One side offers a verified-looking but incomplete toll, while the other claims hundreds without independent confirmation. The immediate test is whether casualty figures are corroborated and whether fighting spreads beyond the Marib and Hadramout camps.
