Yemeni government forces have launched attacks on Houthi positions across multiple front lines, hours after the group renewed its shelling of Marib city, raising fears that years of relative calm could give way to wider conflict. Deputy Information Minister Mohammed Gezan said Saturday the Houthis had “resumed shelling civilian neighbourhoods in Marib city with missiles and drones.” The renewed shelling of Marib, a city hosting more than 2 million of Yemen’s nearly 5 million displaced people, followed an attack on Friday that killed two civilians and wounded 14 more, according to Yemen’s Health Ministry. The Houthis said they were targeting a military camp on the city’s outskirts, while the Yemeni army said it repelled a separate attack Friday evening without casualties. The Houthis, Mawry said, claim they are acting on suspicions that government forces are coordinating with Saudi Arabia on a broader offensive against Houthi-held territory.
