Sanaa (HRNW)- Three members of the Yemeni government forces were killed and four others injured in a drone attack carried out by Houthi rebels in Marib province, according to military sources.
According to the French news agency AFP, a Yemeni military source said the drone strike targeted the Harib area in southern Marib.
The military source said the attack killed three government soldiers and wounded four others, who were immediately transferred to medical facilities for treatment. No further details were provided regarding the condition of the injured personnel.
According to officials, the Houthis targeted the Harib area with a drone. The region, located in southern Marib, has witnessed repeated military clashes and attacks during the prolonged conflict in Yemen.
Authorities said government forces suffered casualties in the latest strike, although it remains unclear whether military installations were also damaged or if only personnel were targeted.
The conflict between the Houthi movement and Yemeni government forces has continued for years, causing widespread humanitarian suffering and recurring violence across the country.
In recent years, the Houthis have significantly expanded their drone and missile capabilities, with operations extending beyond Yemen to include attacks in the Red Sea and other strategic maritime areas.
Meanwhile, forces aligned with the Yemeni government continue military operations against Houthi positions in various parts of the country.
According to military sources, security has been further tightened in the affected area following the latest attack. Authorities have not released additional information regarding the full extent of the incident or possible material damage.
Analysts say any renewed escalation in Yemen could further intensify the country’s prolonged conflict, while the security situation continues to draw international attention due to broader regional tensions.
