About
Yemeni government forces are the recognized military personnel of Yemen, currently engaged in a protracted civil war against the Houthi rebel movement. These forces operate within the context of a deeply divided nation, with various factions vying for control. They have recently become newsworthy due to significant Houthi attacks. In a major escalation, Houthi rebels launched missile and drone strikes on military camps in the al-Ruwaik area of Marib province and the al-Abr area of Hadramawt. These attacks reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 30 government troops and injured 15 others, marking the fiercest military escalation since 2022. The attacks are seen as an attempt to destabilize security and undermine peace efforts. The ongoing conflict, with areas like Taiz experiencing front-line dangers and economic hardship, highlights the precarious situation faced by both civilians and government forces in Yemen.
