Yemen's civil war, ongoing since late 2014, involves Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized Yemeni government, supported by a Saudi-led coalition. The conflict has created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Recent news highlights a significant military escalation, with Houthi missile attacks on government military camps in Hadramout and Marib resulting in at least 30 soldiers killed and 15 injured. This marks the fiercest fighting since 2022, indicating a potential resurgence of intense hostilities.
