Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis kill 14 govt troops in Hodeidah

In an attack in Hodeidah, Yemen, Iran-backed Houthi rebels killed at least 14 government troops and injured 23 during fierce clashes. Military officials reported the attacks began late on Friday and ended after a counterattack early Saturday. The Houthi rebels temporarily seized some pro-government positions but were eventually pushed back. This incident marks one of the deadliest Houthi attacks in recent years. The ongoing conflict, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused a severe humanitarian crisis, remains divided along regional lines, with the Houthis controlling northern areas and the internationally recognized government holding the south. Despite a 2022 ceasefire, tensions resurfaced as the Houthis threatened Saudi infrastructure, a key ally of the Yemeni government.
