Yemen's presidency has launched a new military offensive to reclaim territory from the Houthis. Fighting has intensified, with significant casualties reported.
Yemen’s presidency has announced a new military offensive aimed at reclaiming all territory currently held by the Houthi movement. Fighting has intensified around the city of Taiz, with reports indicating over seventy fatalities as Houthi forces move to isolate the city from the southern port of Aden. This escalation signals a renewed push by the internationally recognized government to regain control of significant portions of the country.
The operation comes amid a protracted conflict that has devastated Yemen and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The offensive seeks to reverse Houthi gains, particularly in strategic southern areas, potentially altering the balance of power in the ongoing civil war. The success of this drive could reshape regional dynamics and influence future peace negotiations.
