Yemen's Houthis launched four ballistic missiles and four drones at the government-held city of Marib on Saturday, hitting residential neighborhoods and causing injuries and property damage, according to provincial authorities; a fifth missile later injured another person, and a sixth was fired overnight.

Marib hosts the largest displaced population in Yemen, with more than two million of the country's roughly five million displaced people living there; officials called the continued targeting of populated areas a dangerous escalation.

The strikes come amid a broader escalation since early August, when Houthi attacks on military camps killed at least 30 government soldiers, followed by strikes killing civilians in Marib and al-Makha. The UN's Yemen envoy warned the country faces its highest risk of full-scale war since the 2022 truce.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
