Houthi rebels kill dozens of Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces
- Houthi attacks on Yemen's Marib province killed at least 10 people Friday, according to a minister and military source, as the rebels escalated strikes on the oil-rich region a day after their deadliest attack in years.
- The latest violence has raised the spectre of a return to war in the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country, where a 2022 truce between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government had largely held before unravelling last month.
- A Yemeni military source told AFP that Houthi attacks in Marib province killed eight members of government forces and wounded 12 others.
