Yemen's Government Launches Military Offensive to Retake Territory from Houthis
Yemen's internationally recognised government, backed by Saudi Arabia and supported by U.S. intelligence, has launched Operation Dawn of Yemen, a major military offensive to reclaim territory from the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The campaign aims to restore state control nationwide, including the capital Sanaa and strategic areas along the Red Sea coast and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Despite heavy airstrikes and ground advances reclaiming key towns like Dhubab and Mocha, the Houthis continue to hold significant territory and have warned against Saudi airspace use. The conflict has intensified regional tensions and worsened Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
