According to reports, the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) attacked a military base of the Saudi-backed Yemeni army, killing 17 soldiers and officers. The casualty figures have not been independently verified.
The report, circulating in Arab media early Friday morning, alleges that the Houthis struck a base of the Saudi-backed Yemeni army, killing 17 soldiers and officers. The exact location and timing of the attack remain unclear, and the casualty figures have not been independently confirmed. The report comes amid a series of Houthi operations against Saudi-backed forces in Yemen. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, the Houthis claimed a drone and missile attack killed over 50 Saudi-backed fighters in eastern Yemen's Marib and Hadramawt regions. The group has intensified its military campaign against the Saudi-led coalition in recent months, including ballistic missile attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia itself. The current report, if confirmed, would mark another significant blow to the Yemeni government forces aligned with Saudi Arabia.
