WorldDozens of Saudi air strikes hit Houthi positions as Yemen fighting intensifies

Yemen’s Ansar Allah Houthis say Saudi Arabia carried out a wave of air strikes across Lahj, Taiz, al-Jawf, Marib and Hajjah. Riyadh is backing Yemen’s internationally recognised government against a rapid Houthi offensive. The Iran-backed group has advanced west and south over the past week, capturing territory including the Red Sea port of Mocha. Injuries were reported in Taiz.
