Yemen Government Launches Major Military Offensive Against Houthi Rebels
Yemen's Saudi-backed government announced a major military operation to retake territory controlled by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, following recent Houthi advances around key areas including Taiz and the Red Sea coast. President Rashad al-Alimi declared the offensive aimed at restoring state authority nationwide. The Houthis have seized strategic locations such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and disrupted supply routes, intensifying the conflict after a four-year ceasefire. Saudi Arabia is expected to provide air support, while Yemeni forces lead ground operations, with calls for international backing.
