Yemeni Government Launches Major Offensive Against Houthis

The Saudi-backed Yemeni government has launched a major military campaign against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The offensive was announced on Sunday, following a series of attacks by Houthi drones and ballistic missiles on Saudi Arabia's Aramco facility over the weekend. Yemeni President Rashed al-Alimi declared that the operation would continue until all Houthi-controlled areas are recaptured and the country is 'liberated from the grip of the terrorist militia.'

The move escalates the ongoing conflict in Yemen, which has been embroiled in civil war since 2014. The Houthis have gained significant territorial control, prompting the internationally recognized Yemeni government to seek military intervention with Saudi support. The latest offensive aims to retake all areas under Houthi control, marking a pivotal moment in the region's security dynamics.
