Houthis Claim Drone and Missile Attacks on Saudi Coalition in Yemen
Sanaa, Yemen – August 6, 2026 – Yemen’s Houthi movement announced on Tuesday that it has executed drone and ballistic missile strikes against military positions belonging to the Saudi-led coalition and the Yemeni government in Marib and Hadramout. This development suggests a potential escalation in the ongoing conflict in the region.
The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, have frequently engaged in hostilities with forces aligned with the Saudi-led coalition, which has been involved in Yemen’s civil war since 2015. The attacks are reportedly part of the group’s continued efforts to challenge military targets in areas critical to the coalition’s operations.
Further details regarding the specific outcomes of the strikes have not been disclosed. Al Jazeera’s Yousef Mawry provided updates on the situation from Sanaa, indicating that tensions in the area remain high.
As the conflict persists, international observers continue to monitor the developments closely, particularly their implications for regional stability.
