According to reports, the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) launched missiles at a base belonging to Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces in the Marib province on Friday morning. No details on casualties or damage have been reported yet.
The attack is the latest in a series of Houthi operations against Saudi-backed forces in Yemen. As The Zioneer has documented, the Houthis have been escalating their campaign over the past month, including a large-scale ballistic missile operation against Saudi targets on August 6. The Marib province, a strategic area rich in oil and gas, has been a key frontline in the conflict, with both the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition conducting strikes there.
The Houthis, an Iranian-backed group, have also expanded their operations to include attacks from Iraqi territory, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The group has used ballistic missiles and drones to target Saudi infrastructure and military positions, as well as Israeli territory, though the IDF has not confirmed impacts.
