The Qatari cabinet has renewed its condemnation of Houthi attacks on Saudi power stations, following a significant rise in displacement figures. The United Nations migration agency reported over 200,000 people displaced in Yemen as fighting between Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces intensified.
Footage published by Saudi-backed Yemeni forces shows armored vehicles running over Houthi fighters during a deadly offensive to reclaim territory near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The video, captured in the final stages of a fierce battle, includes both armed and unarmed individuals being driven over. The UAE has also condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian facilities and vessels, stating these actions violate Saudi sovereignty and threaten its security.
The conflict in Yemen has seen a sharp escalation in violence, with reports of increased missile interceptions by Saudi defenses. The Houthi rebels, who control large parts of northern Yemen, have been accused of targeting civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi-led coalition, supported by the UAE, has been conducting military operations to regain control of key areas.
The humanitarian situation remains dire, with the UN reporting a sharp increase in displacement. The conflict, which has been ongoing since 2015, has resulted in thousands of casualties and widespread destruction. The latest developments highlight the continued violence and the deepening humanitarian crisis in the region.
