Over 60 killed in Yemen as Houthi offensive intensifies against government forces

5 Eylül 2026The Guardian

Clashes between Yemen's Saudi-backed government forces and the Iran-aligned Houthi rebel movement have resulted in over 60 deaths, including civilians. The violence marks one of the deadliest escalations in recent years as the Houthis continue their offensive on the western coast.
Among the casualties, 26 government troops and 31 Houthi fighters were reported killed, while a missile strike in Taiz claimed the lives of six civilians and injured several others.
Yemen has been embroiled in a brutal civil war since 2014, with the Houthi movement fighting against the internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led coalition. This conflict has led to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and in need of assistance.
The recent surge in violence in Yemen underscores the ongoing instability in the region, exacerbated by the complex interplay of local and international interests. The involvement of external powers, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, continues to fuel the conflict, making resolution increasingly elusive.
