Yemen: 500+ killed in past week as Houthi-government clashes intensify

At least 216 government troops and 278 Houthi fighters have been killed in the past week, indicating a sharp escalation in Yemen's civil war. The figures, reported by local sources, suggest sustained heavy fighting rather than a single battle. This casualty rate, if accurate, marks a significant intensification of conflict and could signal a shift in momentum or a new offensive.
