> Yemen’s Ansar Allah, widely known as the Houthis, says its attacks in the country’s east killed 45 people from Saudi-backed government forces. The group says ballistic missiles and drones struck military positions in Hadramout and Marib, including al-Thiniya camp. Government forces confirmed that the attacks caused casualties. The escalation suggests a change in Houthi operations, which had previously focused on shipping linked to Israel. Saudi Arabia also reported a strike in Najran.
