Yemen Conflict Escalates as Government Forces Clash with Houthi Rebels

The conflict in Yemen has intensified, with government forces launching attacks against Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea. The Houthis have fired into neighboring Saudi Arabia, which supports Yemen's government, adding pressure on global oil supplies and prices.

Over 80,000 people have been displaced by the fighting since September, according to the United Nations. The humanitarian situation is dire, with many families fleeing their homes without any belongings or resources.

The Houthis claim to have used drones and missiles to target Saudi Arabia, including a military base just over the border with Yemen. However, Saudi authorities say that only one projectile has fallen in a different area near the border, injuring two people and damaging buildings.
