UN warns Yemen faces greatest risk of renewed major conflict since 2022 truce
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis launched ballistic missiles and drones at displacement camps and residential neighbourhoods in the city of Marib on Friday, killing two people and wounding 14. Yemen's army said early Saturday it had responded against Houthi forces on several fronts.
The United Nations has warned that Yemen faces its greatest risk of a renewed major conflict since the 2022 truce. The warning came after Iran-aligned Houthi forces launched ballistic missiles and drones at displacement camps and residential neighbourhoods in the city of Marib on Friday.
The strikes killed two people and wounded 14, according to state news agency SABA, citing local authorities. Yemen's army said early Saturday it had responded against Houthi forces on several fronts, though it did not give details of the operations or specify when they took place.
The army said it would respond to any further targeting of its units. Analysts say the escalating violence threatens the fragile truce that has largely held in the country since 2022, and warn of rising risk to civilians caught in the fighting.
