Yemen: Battles Escalate in Ma'rib and Ta'izz; Houthis Accused of Using Iranian Weapons

Yemeni government forces and Houthi militants exchanged fire across multiple fronts on Saturday, with Houthi shelling targeting the air defense front north of Ta'izz. Government forces accuse Houthis of using Iranian-supplied weapons, though this claim is unverified. The escalation signals continued stalemate in the long-running conflict, with potential implications for regional stability and Red Sea security.
