Family members of an Indian nurse who is on death row in war-torn Yemen say they are pinning their hopes on a last-ditch effort to save her. Nimisha Priya, 34, was sentenced to death for the murder of a local man - her former business partner Talal Abdo Mahdi - whose chopped-up body was discovered in a water tank in 2017.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels are stepping up their missile attacks, keeping up what could be the last major front in the Middle East wars.

The Yemeni Embassy in Delhi has clarified that President Rashad Al Alimi has not given his assent for the death sentence of Malayali nurse Nimisha Priya. This statement was issued in response to reports claiming that the Yemeni President had authorized her execution.

Nimisha Priya, from Kerala’s Palakkad district, has been imprisoned in the West Asian country for the alleged murder of a Yemeni citizen in July 2017.

Ali Dhafar argues that Yemen’s recent strategic military operations against US and Israeli assets signal its growing capabilities.

The targets struck by U.S. forces had been used to attack American warships and commercial vessels, officials said.

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza. They launched a missile at Israel overnight.

The latest round of strikes occurred as the United States and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by Yemen’s Houthi militants.

The U.S. has been targeting Houthi facilities in Yemen and has long carried out military activities in the country.

The more than a dozen strikes in Sana'a and other parts of Yemen are the first major ones since the Navy shot down its own F/A-18F.
