Yemen's Government Launches Military Offensive to Retake Houthi-Controlled Territory
Yemen's Saudi-backed government, led by President Rashad al-Alimi, has launched a major military operation to retake territory controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The offensive aims to restore state authority across Yemen, including strategic areas like the Red Sea coast and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis have recently advanced near Taiz, disrupting key supply routes and besieging the city. Saudi Arabia is expected to provide air support, while Yemeni forces lead ground operations. The conflict marks a renewed escalation after a four-year ceasefire, with both sides conducting strikes and calling for international support.
