Yemen's government says Houthi strikes hit residential areas in Marib
Yemen's government says Houthi forces have struck residential areas in the government-held city of Marib. The Information Ministry called the attacks a dangerous escalation.
Yemen's Ministry of Information has stated that strikes carried out by Houthi forces hit residential neighborhoods in Marib province, an area held by the country's internationally recognized government.
In its statement, the ministry described the attacks as an "escalation" of the conflict, warning that such actions endanger civilian lives and worsen an already dire humanitarian situation in the region.
Background
Marib remains one of the key cities still under the control of Yemen's internationally recognized government, while much of the country's north, including the capital Sanaa, has been held by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement for years. The conflict between the two sides has persisted for an extended period, contributing to one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.
Yemen's government has called on the international community to take notice of the situation and condemn attacks on civilian areas. The source report did not provide specific figures on casualties or the extent of damage.
