Yemeni government launches counter-offensive against Houthi forces
The internationally recognized Yemeni government has announced a major military counter-offensive aimed at recapturing territory held by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The operation includes efforts to reopen supply routes to besieged cities, specifically in the Taiz governorate, where fighting has intensified. Concurrently, Houthis reported conducting a strike on an Aramco facility, while government-aligned forces struck targets in Sanaa, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing civil conflict and associated regional instability.
