Houthi forces have broadened their offensive beyond al-Makha, launching at least six ballistic missiles and four drones against the government-held city of Marib in a single day, injuring multiple people and damaging homes, vehicles, and property. Marib's provincial authority confirmed the strikes hit residential neighbourhoods, with a fifth missile causing further injuries later Saturday and a sixth launched overnight into Sunday. The city is particularly vulnerable, hosting more than two million of Yemen's roughly five million internally displaced people. Yemen's government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia, have since struck back, with officials warning the escalation risks pushing the country toward full-scale war.
