Yemen’s internationally recognised government has launched a military operation against Houthi positions across multiple front lines following a series of attacks in Marib and Hadramout, signalling a renewed escalation in the country’s long-running conflict.

Government military spokesperson Majid al-Nuzaili said the operation targeted Houthi positions and capabilities in response to attacks that killed and wounded government soldiers and civilians. The Houthis had not commented on the operation at the time of reporting.

Key developments:

  • Majid al-Nuzaili said government forces coordinated operations across several front lines.
  • Recent Houthi missile and drone attacks reportedly struck Marib and Hadramout.
  • Marib, a major oil and gas-producing province, remains a key government stronghold.
  • A fragile de facto ceasefire has largely held since the UN-brokered truce expired in 2022, despite intermittent clashes.
