Fifteen US Airstrikes Hit Yemen’s Marib Province

Fifteen US airstrikes hit districts in Yemen’s Marib province on Monday, Yemen’s SABA news agency reported, as the daily US bombing campaign on the country continues.

Marib is in the eastern part of Houthi-controlled Yemen, which is where 80% of Yemenis live. The province was the site of heavy ground fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed forces in 2021 during the US-backed Saudi/UAE war on Yemen, which hasn’t officially ended but has been frozen since a 2022 ceasefire.

The 2022 ceasefire ended Saudi airstrikes on Yemen, but there have been occasional flare-ups on the ground, including in Marib, and Saudi shelling across the Saudi-Yemen border.
