Yemen's Houthis have released dramatic footage purportedly showing Rokem suicide drone strikes against Saudi-backed forces, with explosions hitting vehicles and camps. The footage appears to show personnel fleeing as drones strike targets on the ground. The visuals come amid continuing tensions surrounding Yemen and wider regional security concerns. In a separate escalation, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree has warned employees, engineers, experts and civilians near Saudi oil giant Aramco's facilities to evacuate. Saree said the group considers Aramco facilities legitimate targets and urged workers to stay away from sites it has threatened.

Yemen’s fighting intensifies as government-affiliated Giants Brigades report strikes against Houthi military vehicles and positions near the strategic Bab el-Mandab Strait. The Yemeni army says Houthi suicide FPV drones targeting the Al-Bayda front were shot down before reaching their targets. Footage released by the Giants Brigades shows Houthi-linked targets erupting in flames after reported drone strikes. The latest escalation comes as fighting spreads across western, central and northern Yemen, with Bab el-Mandab remaining a key strategic flashpoint because of its importance to Red Sea shipping.
