Houthi missile and drone strikes in the Marib and Hadramawt governorates of Yemen have killed at least 30 soldiers of the internationally recognized Yemeni government, according to a Reuters report.

A Reuters report Thursday evening stated that Houthi missile and drone strikes in the Marib and Hadramawt governorates of Yemen have killed at least 30 soldiers of the internationally recognized Yemeni government. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks, which targeted camps of forces described as 'identified with Saudi Arabia.'
The attack follows a Houthi missile and drone strike on a Saudi-backed base in eastern Yemen earlier Thursday that killed at least 40 people, as The Zioneer reported. The earlier strike hit the Al-Ruwaiq base in Hadramawt, operated by the Saudi-backed Hadramawt Emergency Forces, and wounded over 100.
The Houthi escalation against Saudi-backed forces has intensified in recent weeks, with the group ending its long-standing ceasefire with Riyadh and launching attacks from both Yemeni and Iraqi territory. Thursday's attacks underscore the continued pressure on Yemeni government forces and their Saudi allies.
