The Yemeni military said at least 17 soldiers and an officer were killed in Houthi attacks in Yemen's Marib and Hadramout.

"The Joint Operations Command assures the Yemeni people that the Armed Forces, in all their formations, continue to perform their duties with full readiness and efficiency, and that this cowardly attack will not deter them from fulfilling their national mission but will only increase their resolve and determination to complete their sacred duty of restoring state institutions and imposing sovereignty over all national territory," the Yemeni military wrote in a statement.
