Attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels Thursday in central and eastern Yemen killed at least 30 government troops and wounded at least 50 others, Yemeni government officials said.
A Houthi leader said Saudi-backed troops were targeted in the attacks and that “hundreds” were either killed or injured. The assaults hit camps for forces of the internationally recognized government in the provinces of Marib and Hadramout, the Yemeni officials said.
The attacks were a major escalation since a de facto truce in Yemen in April 2022 that halted major fighting between the Houthis and a Saudi-led coalition, which backs the internationally recognized government.
The U.S. mission to Yemen expressed condolences to the families of the killed Yemeni soldiers in Hadramout and Marib, adding in a statement on X that the attacks by the Houthis “represent yet another example of their terrorism against the Yemeni people.”
胡塞叛军袭击造成至少30名也门政府军士兵死亡，官员称
周四，伊朗支持的胡塞叛军在也门中部和东部发起袭击，造成至少30名政府军士兵死亡，至少50人受伤，也门政府官员表示。
一名胡塞领导人称，袭击的目标是沙特支持的部队，并表示“数百人”被杀或受伤。袭击针对的是位于马里布和哈德拉毛特省的国际公认政府军营地，也门官员称。
这些袭击标志着自2022年4月以来冲突的重大升级，当时建立了事实上的停火，停止了胡塞与支持国际公认政府的沙特领导联盟之间的主要战斗。
美国驻也门使团对在哈德拉毛特和马里布遇难的也门士兵家属表示哀悼，并在X上发表声明称，胡塞的袭击“再次表明他们对也门人民的恐怖主义行为。”
