Fighting escalates between Houthi forces and government troops in Yemen

Clashes between Houthi fighters and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have intensified, spreading toward the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. Separate reports indicate Houthi supporters held armed protests in Sana'a, while the Yemeni government raised concerns over suspected foreign technology used in Houthi weaponry. Casualty figures and the precise territorial boundaries of the renewed fighting remain unconfirmed.
