The announcement comes amid an exchange of strikes involving Yemen’s government forces, the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition. Reports indicate that Yemeni forces targeted military sites in Sanaa and repelled Houthi attacks in Taiz, while separate reporting described Houthi attacks linked to Saudi Arabia and continuing airstrikes on Yemen. The escalation is unfolding alongside broader regional tensions, including concerns about the conflict widening and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz. The available coverage does not establish whether the operation will become a sustained ground offensive or remain primarily an air campaign.
