Over 120 Dead in Yemen Clash
The article discusses the ongoing intense clashes between the Yemeni government forces and the Houthi rebels, with the battles having resulted in more than 120 deaths since Thursday. The death toll has risen to 66 among the legitimate forces and 62 among the Houthis. The fighting began after a ground attack by the Houthis, coinciding with missile strikes and drone attacks on coastal areas near the Red Sea and the city of Taiz, aiming to isolate the strategic city of Al-Mokha and advance towards the coast overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Analyses indicate that the Houthis seek to control the coastal regions and the hills overlooking this vital waterway, posing a threat to the international maritime route, especially amid heightened regional tensions related to the ongoing war between Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition, as well as tensions between Iran and the United States. The Yemeni government has imposed new military reinforcements to repel Houthi attacks, and the fighting continues without an official final casualty count from either side.
