Presidential Council chairman Rashad al-Alimi announced the offensive on Sunday, according to Reuters. The announcement follows reports of Yemeni government airstrikes on military targets in Houthi-controlled Sana’a and fighting around Taiz, while broader tensions involving Iran and the United States continue to affect regional security. The scale, timing and likely international response to the operation remain unclear, but a sustained campaign could worsen Yemen’s humanitarian crisis and threaten regional stability.
