The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting for nearly seven years in support of Yemen's government against the Houthis, in a conflict that has displaced millions and created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations. As hostilities escalated, the rebels said they had seized a military ship flying a United Arab Emirates flag. The coalition insisted it was carrying medical supplies.
About 200 fighters have been killed in fresh clashes near the strategic Yemeni city of Marib as the seven-year war witnesses a surge in violence. This includes more than 125 Houthi rebels killed in air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition and clashes with pro-government forces in Shabwa and Al-Bayda provinces, bordering Marib.Recent weeks have seen another spike with Saudi air strikes on rebel territory multiplying, while the Houthis have ramped up missile and drone assaults on the kingdom.
