Houthi Fighters Attack Yemeni Soldiers and Ships

On August 6, 2026, Houthi fighters used missiles and drones to kill at least 30 Yemeni government soldiers at a military camp in Marib. Their spokesman claimed "hundreds" died. Weeks earlier, the Houthis attacked two Saudi oil ships in the Red Sea. They vowed to keep fighting until both sides agree to stop — a deal called a ceasefire.
