  "summary": "Yemeni government forces have claimed to have seized key positions around the Bab Al Mandeb strait and the Dhubab area, according to The National UAE. This comes as a Saudi-led coalition reported that 100 fighter jets are participating in an anti-Houthi offensive, providing round-the-clock air support to Yemeni armed forces and air cover for the Bab Al Mandeb strait. The Yemeni forces have also launched a \"strategic offensive\" on the Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa. However, the developments have not been independently verified and remain unconfirmed by the Houthis. The Yemen conflict began in 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, leading to a Saudi-led intervention aimed at restoring the government and ousting the rebel group.",
