Fighting intensifies between Houthis, Yemen gov't forces in Marib

Clashes between Yemeni government forces and Houthi rebels have intensified in the strategic Marib province, with military sources reporting dozens of fighters killed, including a senior loyalist commander. The UN has warned that the surge in violence puts millions of civilians at risk, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. This escalation follows the Houthis' renewed push to capture Marib city, a key oil-rich stronghold.
