After nearly two years of relative calm, Yemen's civil war has entered a dangerous new phase. Iran-backed Houthi forces launched coordinated missile and drone attacks on Saudi-backed government troops in Marib and Hadramout, killing at least 58 soldiers and wounding dozens, according to military sources. The Houthis described the assault as a preemptive strike against alleged Saudi invasion plans, while Yemen's internationally recognized government vowed retaliation. Fighting has intensified following the collapse of the 2022 UN-brokered truce, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. The renewed violence threatens peace efforts, deepens Yemen's humanitarian crisis, and risks further destabilizing the Middle East.
