Forces loyal to the Yemeni government have conducted an extensive operation involving hundreds of airstrikes against Houthi positions.

This significant escalation comes as part of a renewed effort to counter Houthi territorial gains and suppress their offensive operations. The intensified combat has contributed to large-scale displacement as civilians flee the areas affected by the heavy aerial bombardments and subsequent ground fighting.
