Dozens Killed in Yemen as Houthis Launch Hodeidah Offensive

HeadlineJul 06, 2026

In Yemen, dozens of people are dead following an outbreak of fighting between Yemen’s internationally recognized government and Houthi rebels in Hodeidah, a province near the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait on the Red Sea. The violence began on Friday, when Houthi fighters used snipers, drones and artillery to attack government positions. A Yemeni minister says more than 50 Houthis were killed in a counterattack. On Sunday, the British military said a cargo ship came under fire off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea. No group claimed responsibility, but the Houthis are active in the area and had previously threatened to renew attacks on ships.
