Saudi-backed Yemeni forces attacked Houthi positions and vehicles along the Marib front using attack drones and mortars, according to reports. The attack came after the Iran-backed Houthis launched ballistic missiles against Saudi-backed forces. Multiple Houthi casualties are reported, but the figures have not been independently verified.
The attack follows a reported Houthi strike on pro-Saudi targets in Marib earlier Saturday evening, which The Zioneer reported at 22:26 Jerusalem time. The Houthi operation involved ballistic missiles, according to the previous report. The current counterattack by Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, using attack drones and mortars, appears to be a direct response to the Houthi missile barrage. The extent of Houthi casualties remains unverified, and no official statement from the Houthi movement or Saudi-led coalition has been issued.
