In Yemen, fierce clashes in the last major northern stronghold for the internationally recognized government could mark a turning point in the deadly six-year conflict.
The oil-rich city of Marib is now at the center of a military escalation by Iran-backed Houthi rebels attempting to extend their control of the country further east with a devastating campaign of drone and missile attacks on both Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi-backed government forces say US president Joe Biden’s decision to reverse Trump’s widely criticized designation of the Houthis as a terrorist group has only emboldened the rebel group.
CNN’s Nic Robertson gained access to Marib’s frontline, where the battle for control in the ancient desert city is raging on.
A U.S. Navy missile cruiser, USS Gettysburg, mistakenly targeted two F/A-18 Super Hornets during airstrikes against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. One plane was hit, causing the pilot and navigator to eject and survive. A second jet narrowly escaped a missile, forcing evasive maneuvers. The Navy launched an investigation into the incident, which paused further airstrikes from the USS Harry S. Truman. This friendly-fire situation has raised concerns about training and coordination within military operations.

Yemen’s armed forces have intensified operations against Israeli military targets, including a successful strike on a site in Yaffa using the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile. This is part of their broader support for Palestinians amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Yemen's actions also include drone strikes and missile launches aimed at Israeli installations and vessels in solidarity with Gaza’s resistance. Yemen’s military vows to continue these operations until Israeli aggression ends and the Gaza siege is lifted.

Yemen’s missile strikes have disrupted US-Israel strategy, says Iran’s FM. Yemen’s support for Palestine includes missile attacks on Israeli-occupied territories and US warships. Yemen remains self-reliant in its resistance, with Israel escalating strikes on Yemen infrastructure. The country continues direct military actions and has imposed a semi-blockade on Israel-linked ships.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has claimed that their targeted strikes against U.S. and Israeli assets caused significant confusion among American air defense systems, allegedly leading to "friendly fire" that downed a U.S. fighter jet. Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, asserted the group's actions effectively baffled the U.S.'s advanced defense network, resulting in an American warplane being mistakenly hit.
