Toll From Yemen Clashes Passes 300 as Civilians Flee Homes
Hundreds of families fled Taiz governorate as an AFP tally said more than 300 combatants and civilians were killed in the latest Houthi offensive.
- On Sunday, fighting between government forces and Iran-backed Houthi rebels in southwest Yemen climbed past 300 dead, marking the deadliest flare-up since a ceasefire collapsed in July.
- After a fragile truce fell apart in July when rebels welcomed an Iranian plane to Sanaa, Houthis launched an offensive Thursday aiming to cut off the port city Mokha.
- Two military officials reported 84 government troops killed in missile attacks between Saturday and Sunday morning, while four Houthi sources said 57 rebels died; government forces established positions north of Hays, less than 30 kilometres from the Red Sea coast.
- OCHA reported nearly 1,790 households displaced by intense shelling in Maqbanah and Jabal Habashi, with families fleeing to Al-Bareen camp; displaced woman Rawdhah Hasan said they 'fled with our children without even putting on our shoes'.
- Adam Baron of US-based think tank New America said the offensive 'shattered much of what was left of Yemen's tenuous ceasefire' with 'few potential off-ramps,' while the conflict threatens the Bab al-Mandab chokepoint connecting Asia to Europe via Suez Canal.
