Houthi attacks kill at least 58 Yemeni soldiers, injure 11 in Saudi Arabia
Houthi missile and drone strikes kill dozens of Yemeni government troops in Hadramout and Marib
Continuation
At least 58 soldiers were killed and dozens wounded in Yemen on Thursday after Houthi fighters launched large-scale attacks on government military positions, according to a Yemeni military source cited by the French news agency. The strikes targeted a camp in Marib province and another in Hadramout, near the Saudi border, the source said.
In Saudi Arabia, 11 civilians were injured in separate Houthi attacks on the southern Najran region, the Saudi-led coalition confirmed on Friday. Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki stated the attacks used indiscriminate shelling against civilian areas, violating international law, and vowed to take deterrent measures to protect civilians .
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sareea claimed the group conducted a wide-scale operation against enemy troop concentrations, accusing Saudi Arabia of providing significant support to the Yemeni government forces. The Yemeni government’s Defense Ministry responded by warning of retaliation “in due time and place.”
The attacks mark the deadliest escalation in Yemen’s conflict since a 2022 ceasefire temporarily halted a seven-year war. A previous toll had reported 38 dead and 28 wounded, but the figure was later revised upward.
Saudi Arabia has raised alarms over potential coordinated strikes by Iranian-backed groups, including Iraqi militias and the Houthis, targeting civilian and economic infrastructure such as energy facilities, ports, and airports. A senior Saudi official told Reuters that such attacks could aim to disrupt diplomatic efforts to ease tensions with Iran .
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is expected in Saudi Arabia on Friday for talks, while Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has already arrived, as the kingdom seeks to formalize a defense pact with Turkey and Pakistan, according to Reuters .
Pro-Houthi channels reported additional strikes on Saudi military command centers in Al-Rawik, Al-Abra, and Al-Thaniyah, though these claims have not been independently verified . The Saudi-led coalition has not confirmed these reports.
The conflict in Yemen, which reignited last month, has added to regional tensions following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. The Houthi movement, aligned with Tehran, has previously accused Saudi Arabia of escalating hostilities by supporting Yemeni government forces.
