Ships anchor near Bab al-Mandeb Strait off Yemen's coast, a day after Iran-backed Houthi authorities announce attacks on Saudi vessels and warned against their passage through the Red Sea shipping route. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis killed at least 58 government troops in missile and drone attacks on Aug. 6, 2026 a military source said, in one of the deadliest days of the country's civil war in four years. The attacks come as Yemen is increasingly drawn into the US-Israeli war with Iran, with the rebels stepping up attacks against both government forces and neighboring Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and supporter of the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the rebels attacked government positions with ballistic missiles and drones in response to an alleged military buildup backed by neighboring Saudi Arabia.
