军方周六晚间宣布，也门南部拉赫杰省有8名士兵死亡，当时正与胡塞武装持续交火。
Eight Yemeni soldiers were killed in the southern province of Lahj, the army announced late Saturday, amid continued fighting with the Houthi group.
军方所属图尔-巴哈军事轴线在一份声明中表示，这些士兵在拉赫杰省的马卡特拉前线被杀害。声明未提供更多细节，胡塞武装方面也没有立即作出回应。
The army-affiliated Tur al-Bahah Military Axis said in a statement that the soldiers were killed on the al-Maqatirah front in Lahj province. The statement provided no further details and there was no immediate comment from the Houthis.
周六早些时候，胡塞武装的炮击在邻近的塔伊兹省的多起袭击中造成3名平民死亡，其中包括2名妇女，另有5人受伤，这是根据一个政府办公室的消息。
Earlier Saturday, Houthi shelling killed three civilians, including two women, and injured five others in separate attacks in neighboring Taiz province, according to a government office.
这些发展发生在自7月开始的军事升级背景下，这是自2022年4月联合国斡旋的停火协议生效后相对平静时期以来最显著的升级。
The developments came amid a military escalation that began in July, the most significant since a period of relative calm following a UN-brokered truce that took effect in April 2022.
也门自2014年9月胡塞武装夺取首都萨那及几个省份以来一直陷入冲突，这促使沙特领导的联盟在2015年3月进行干预，以支持国际社会公认的政府。
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
