Yemen government forces say struck Houthi targets
Yemen's government forces said Sunday they had
On Sunday, Yemen's armed forces initiated strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis, targeting the capital city of Sanaa and the group's stronghold in Saada. A spokesperson for the Yemeni forces, aligned with the internationally recognized government, mentioned that the strikes were aimed at "vital targets," though specific details were not disclosed.
Yemen's Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported earlier on an attack purportedly carried out by Saudi Arabia on Sanaa, although no immediate confirmation was provided by Saudi authorities.
The ongoing conflict between the Iran-backed Houthis and forces under the Saudi-backed government has seen a resurgence, stemming from the broader war between Iran and the United States. While a truce was agreed upon in 2022, fighting has escalated again as the Houthis imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in July and targeted Saudi territory and shipping.
Simultaneously, the Houthis have achieved significant territorial advancements along Yemen's Red Sea coast. In response, Saudi Arabia has launched air strikes within Yemen and extended support to government forces in their efforts to counter the Houthi advance.
