Houthis killed 14 Yemeni government troops in attack south of Hodeidah, official says
The rebels briefly seized pro-government positions before a counterattack retook them, and officials said sniper fire caused most of the casualties.
- On Saturday, Iran-backed Houthi rebels killed 14 government troops in Yemen's Hays district south of Hodeidah, following clashes that began late Friday and concluded at dawn Saturday.
- Front lines have remained largely static since a 2022 United Nations-brokered truce, though this attack disrupts a conflict persisting since Yemen's 2015 civil war began.
- An officer confirmed 23 soldiers were injured in "fierce fighting," noting that Houthi rebels utilized snipers to inflict most casualties before launching drone and mortar salvos.
- Minister of state Walid al-Qudaimi stated the soldiers were killed "defending their land and dignity" and claimed government forces killed more than 50 Houthi fighters during the battle.
- Military officials described the event as the "deadliest Houthi attack in years," though the group offered no immediate comment on the clashes following a government counterattack.
