Yemeni Air Force Strikes: Renewed Violence in Marib and Al-Jawf

The Yemeni government air force conducted airstrikes against Houthi missile and drone sites in Marib and al-Jawf provinces. These are among the first operations by the Saudi-backed government amid renewed conflict following the collapse of a four-year truce between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.

The Yemeni government air force launched airstrikes on Saturday targeting Houthi missile and drone launch sites, along with arms depots located in the Marib and al-Jawf provinces. These areas are known as the front lines in the ongoing conflict between Yemen and the Iran-aligned group.

According to two Yemeni military officials, the airstrikes mark some of the first offensive actions by the Saudi-backed Yemeni government against the Houthis. This follows a recent escalation in violence, as a truce that lasted four years has now collapsed.

The renewed hostilities have sparked concerns over the continuation of the conflict, which has been ongoing for more than a decade. The situation in Yemen remains volatile as both sides prepare for further confrontation.
