At least 30 Yemeni government soldiers were killed on Thursday after coordinated attacks targeted military camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadramout, according to government officials. Authorities warned that the death toll could rise as rescue and recovery efforts continue.
The Iran-aligned Houthi movement later claimed responsibility for the assault, saying it launched ballistic missile and drone strikes against what it described as Saudi military positions and Saudi-backed forces in the Al Ruwayk, Al Abr, and Al Thaniyah areas.
The Houthis claimed the operation destroyed military camps, weapons depots, and vehicles, and caused heavy casualties among Saudi-aligned fighters. However, these claims could not be independently verified.
In response to the attacks, Yemen's Health Minister directed hospitals and medical facilities in Marib and Hadramout to increase emergency preparedness to treat wounded soldiers. He condemned the strikes, describing them as attacks on military positions in the affected areas.
The U.S. Mission to Yemen also expressed condolences to the families of the slain soldiers, calling the attacks another example of what it described as Houthi terrorism against the Yemeni people.
The latest violence comes amid rising regional tensions. Since last month, the Houthis have declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, accusing Riyadh of maintaining a siege on Yemen—an allegation Saudi Arabia denies.
Yemen's conflict began after the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention in support of the internationally recognized government in 2015. The prolonged war has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
