> The number of people killed in Yemen since the conflict escalated has reached 838, with another 4,400 injured, according to World Health Organization data cited by the Associated Press. The Houthi movement launched an offensive in southwestern Yemen in early September and carried out missile and drone strikes near the Red Sea coast and Taiz as it sought to cut routes to Mocha and advance toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
