📰 THE FULL STORY

Intense fighting continued in Yemen between the Houthi rebel group and the Saudi-backed forces of the country's internationally recognized government. According to The New York Times, the war intensified as the Houthi militia advanced on Marib.

The Houthis recently made major gains on Yemen's Red Sea coast. They now appear to be threatening Yemen's eastern region.

That eastern region hosts large oil and gas fields, placing significant resources near the expanding front.

⬅️ HOW THE LEFT COVERS IT
Left coverage foregrounds the battlefield shift itself, casting the Houthi advance on Marib as the intensification point of the war and, per Jacobin's framing, as an exposure of Saudi weakness after Ansar Allah's Red Sea gains.

🌐 WHAT THE INTERNET IS SAYING
@AJEnglish reports the Houthis are advancing along Yemen's western coast and striking Saudi targets. Houthi forces confirmed attacks on oil facilities in Yanbu and the Khamis Mushait Airbase, while @BashaReport describes confused, back-and-forth fighting over Khaboub near Bab al-Mandab as the Houthis push to secure the southwest.

@Alsakaniali notes pro-government Giants forces destroyed Houthi vehicles on the Kahboub front. The same account reports unidentified drones appearing over Houthi-controlled Sana'a for the first time, believed operated by Yemeni government forces.

@AJEnglish adds that Rashad al-Alimi claims Houthi forces are taking heavy losses across fronts including Marib, and that China has privately asked Iran to rein in the Houthis after Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing. @PakistanFauj states Pakistani troops are already deployed in Saudi Arabia and will go to any exten
