Yemen military announces broad strikes against Houthis

The Yemeni military announced a broad set of strikes against Houthi targets on Monday, after the government declared a new campaign to retake all territory even as the Iran-backed group made fresh gains on the ground. The declared offensive sets a lofty goal for the beleaguered Saudi-backed government a month after losing swathes of the country's Red Sea coastline and territory around the Bab…

Yemen's government is appealing for international assistance to combat the Houthis, asserting that stability within the country is in the world's best interests. Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba penned a post on X, urging allies and the global community to aid the Yemeni people, their nation, and its institutions in their fight against the terrorist Houthi militia. The group has seized control through military force, causing immense suffering among the Yemeni population.

Al-Zouba notes that all avenues for de-escalation and peace have been exhausted, emphasizing that the Houthis' aggression and coup attempt are not confined to Yemen's borders. She emphasizes the need for a united national, regional, and international response to tackle the militia's actions and restore stability to the region. Yemenis are entitled to regain control over their state and security, and it is crucial for the world that Yemen remains stable, ensuring the safety of neighboring countries and international shipping lanes.

The liberation battle declared by President Rashad aims to establish a state that safeguards its citizens, controls weapons, reaffirms its sovereignty over all territories, adheres to international norms and agreements, and halts the exploitation of Yemen's people, land, and coasts for the Houthi militia's nefarious purposes and the agenda of the Iranian regime.

Al-Zouba appeals to her fellow countrymen, friends, and the international community to support Yemen in its battle against the terrorist militia that has overstepped its boundaries and committed heinous crimes.
