Yemen: (RightNow) Intense fighting has erupted between Houthi militia and government security forces in Yemen. Reports indicate that over 100 people have been killed in clashes in the Taiz and Hodeidah regions.

Houthi sources claim that fierce battles are ongoing on various fronts between Taiz and Hodeidah. According to government forces, Houthis launched sudden attacks in western Taiz, using missiles and drones.

The Yemeni army reports that Houthis have fired 14 ballistic missiles and conducted dozens of drone attacks at various locations in Taiz. Government forces claim they have forced the Houthis to retreat.

The Mokha port is a crucial supply route for government forces. The Houthis aim to cut off Taiz from the Red Sea coastal areas to disrupt supply lines.

It is noteworthy that since 2014, the war between Houthis and the government in Yemen has seen multiple escalations. Recent clashes have reportedly resulted in over 100 deaths, though independent verification is unavailable.
