Clashes in Lahij Yemen kill 40

Clashes between government forces and the Houthis in Lahij Governorate, Yemen, have resulted in the deaths of approximately 40 people, including 33 Houthis and 7 members of the government forces. Dozens of individuals on both sides have also been injured. The confrontations coincided with Houthi attacks on government positions, alongside the legitimate forces conducting 356 precise targeting operations over the past 24 hours, which led to the destruction of command centers, weapon warehouses, and several military vehicles used by the Houthis. The area also experienced around 24 airstrikes carried out by the air force, while the Houthi group announced that 38 strikes from the Arab coalition targeted areas in Taiz, Saada, and Hajja, resulting in civilian casualties and injuries. The fighting in Yemen has continued since intensifying after the Houthis seized the Bab al-Mandab Strait in September 2026. The ongoing conflict, which has persisted since 2014, is considered one of the most serious regional crises.
