Yemen Government Launches Major Offensive Against Houthis; Regional Escalation

Yemen's internationally recognized government, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, has initiated a major military offensive to retake Houthi-held territories, including Sana'a. This operation, termed 'Yemen Dawn' and 'battle for liberation,' marks a significant escalation in the conflict, with concurrent Houthi claims of strikes on Saudi refineries and confirmed tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. The scope and immediate success of the offensive remain uncertain, as do the full implications for regional stability and Red Sea security.
