Houthi missile and drone attacks on Yemeni government forces in the central provinces of Marib and Hadramawt have killed dozens of people, but reports give conflicting death tolls. BBC News says at least 30 government forces were killed, while Middle East Eye reports at least 58 killed, citing a military source who spoke to AFP on Thursday. The Houthis said they launched the attacks on what they called 'Saudi military deployments' in response to a 'large military buildup' by Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The attacks struck in the two provinces, which have been a focus of recent fighting. The exact number of casualties could not be independently confirmed.
