As many as 169 people have been reportedly killed in Yemen over the past three days as Iran-aligned Houthi forces battle Saudi-backed government troops for control of strategic heights along the Red Sea coast, according to Agence France-Presse, as cited by The Guardian World. The fighting has driven thousands from their homes, with Houthi officials stating that at least 118 people have been killed in clashes and Saudi air and artillery strikes across Taiz, al-Jawf, Marib, and Saada provinces since Sunday. Yemeni government sources have reported at least 36 casualties on their side of the conflict.
The Guardian US highlights that the Houthi militants have made a rapid advance along the Red Sea coast, capturing strategically important territory. The conflict has resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths and the displacement of more than 100,000 people. The escalation has raised concerns globally, with implications for international shipping routes.
