A Houthi drone attack on the Harib area in southern Marib province killed three Yemeni government soldiers and wounded four more, according to a preliminary toll from a Yemeni military source. Artillery exchanges and clashes continued at Sirwah and along the Al-Kasara front north of Marib city, and the Iran-backed group also struck an arms depot in the province. The Houthis separately reported firing about ten ballistic missiles at military camps in Yemen identified with Saudi Arabia. The attacks came a day after Houthi missile and drone strikes killed at least 58 government troops, the deadliest day of Yemen's civil war in four years.
