Houthis launch new attacks on al-Makha and Marib as Yemen conflict escalates
Houthi forces launched new attacks on Yemen's al-Makha and Marib regions. The development signals a renewed escalation of the country's conflict in recent weeks after a period of relative calm.
Houthi forces launched new attacks on al-Makha in western Yemen and the oil-rich Marib region. Local sources said the strikes indicate renewed fighting intensity in both areas.
The development follows a period of relative calm between the warring parties and could cast a shadow over international mediation efforts aimed at securing peace. Forces aligned with Yemen's government said they responded to the attacks.
Humanitarian organizations said they are concerned about the impact of escalating fighting on an already vulnerable civilian population. Warnings have been issued that the humanitarian situation in the region could deteriorate further.
