The campaign was announced by Presidential Leadership Council chairman Rashad al-Alimi and is aimed at reclaiming Houthi-held territory across Yemen. Reports say Saudi Arabia conducted more than 100 air and missile strikes over 24 hours, including attacks near Sanaa and in Al-Jawf and Taiz, while Houthi forces warned of continued confrontation. The offensive could destabilize a conflict that had been largely frozen for several years and threaten regional security, humanitarian access, and shipping routes near the Red Sea.
