Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for coordinated attacks that allegedly killed 45 soldiers belonging to the internationally recognised Yemeni government forces. According to the Houthis, the operations targeted multiple frontline positions, intensifying fighting despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to reduce hostilities. The Yemeni government has not independently confirmed the casualty figures, and the claims remain unverified. The renewed violence underscores the fragile security situation in Yemen, where years of conflict have caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The latest clashes raise concerns over further escalation and could complicate regional and international efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire. (PC: EPA)
