SGOn August 6, 2026, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missile and drone attacks that killed at least 58 Saudi-backed Yemeni government troops, marking one of the deadliest days in the country's ongoing civil war. The attacks targeted military camps in Marib, Hadramawt, and other regions, with casualties reported as high as 38 initially. The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, claimed the strikes were in response to a perceived military buildup by Saudi Arabia. The Yemeni government condemned the attacks and vowed to retaliate.
