Houthi rebels launched missile and drone strikes on Yemeni government positions in Marib and Hadhramaut provinces on Thursday, officials said. Yemeni government sources reported at least 30 troops killed, while Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the operation caused far higher casualties. The Iran backed group said it targeted Saudi backed army divisions in the long running conflict with Yemen's internationally recognised government.
