Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launched missile and drone attacks on Thursday, killing at least 58 government troops, according to a military source cited by News - South China Morning Post. This marks one of the deadliest days of the country's civil war in four years. The attacks targeted government forces and neighboring Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and supporter of the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya, was mentioned in the context of these attacks, indicating an escalation in the conflict. According to Deutsche Welle, the attacks also wounded 11 civilians in Saudi Arabia. The Guardian reported that Saudi Arabia has warned of further attacks, suggesting an increased tension in the region.
The conflict in Yemen is part of a broader regional struggle, with the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, and the recent attacks draw Yemen deeper into this conflict. The internationally recognized Yemeni government is supported by Saudi Arabia, a key US ally.
