Yemeni Houthis Advance Near Aden Amid Escalating Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes
Yemen's conflict intensifies as Iran-aligned Houthi forces advance to within 80 kilometers of Aden, threatening key routes including the Aden-Taiz highway. The Houthis claim attacks on Saudi targets, while Saudi-led coalition forces report strikes on Houthi positions and infrastructure in Yemen. The escalation follows the breakdown of a 2022 UN truce, displacing over 300,000 people and raising concerns about civilian suffering and environmental crises amid ongoing military operations.
