Yemen's Houthi movement killed at least 30 government soldiers and wounded 15 more in missile and drone strikes on army camps in Hadramout and Marib on Thursday, using eight missiles fired from al-Jawf governorate at Saudi-backed Emergency Forces and Homeland Shield Forces camps. Yemeni officials called it the deadliest attack in the country's civil war in years. Hours later, a separate Houthi strike hit Saudi Arabia's Najran province, wounding eleven civilians including a four-year-old child who suffered second-degree burns; Saudi officials called it a violation of international humanitarian law. The attacks follow a Houthi naval blockade declared against Saudi Arabia in July, ending four years of relative calm since a 2022 truce. Riyadh has responded by launching an international maritime alliance to protect the Red Sea and Bab Al Mandeb strait. The escalation is unfolding alongside the separate US-Israel war on Iran, which has already disrupted Gulf oil and shipping routes, two conflicts now converging on the same waterways.
