Shabwa: Two Yemeni soldiers were killed and seven others injured in a Houthi attack in Yemen's southern Shabwa governorate on Monday, according to local media. The attack highlights the ongoing conflict in the region, which continues to affect the lives of many in Yemen.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Sama Adan news portal reported that Houthi forces shelled government positions in the governorate, though further details were not provided. The assault is part of a pattern of escalating tensions between Yemen's internationally recognized government and the Houthi group.

The conflict has seen intermittent surges in violence across various Yemeni fronts since last month, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides. Despite a period of relative calm since April 2022, the fighting has resumed with intensity. The war, which has persisted for nearly 12 years, pits government forces supported by a Saudi-led coalition against the Iranian-backed Houthis, who took control of the capital Sanaa and significant portions of the country in 2014.
