Yemen's Government Launches Military Offensive to Retake Houthi-Controlled Areas

Yemen's Government Launches Military Offensive to Retake Houthi-Controlled AreasPreviousNext

Yemen's Saudi-backed government has launched a major military offensive, named 'Dawn of Yemen,' to retake territory controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The operation aims to restore state authority across Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and strategic areas like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis recently advanced, capturing key towns such as Turbah and encircling Taiz. Saudi Arabia is providing air support, while Yemeni forces lead ground operations. The conflict has intensified after a four-year ceasefire, causing significant civilian displacement and regional tensions.
