Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council backed by Saudi Arabia, announced on Sunday a military operation aimed at reclaiming territory controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi group. Al-Alimi instructed Yemeni forces to extend state authority nationwide and placed all government institutions on full alert until victory is achieved. According to Colonel Majed Abdullah al-Nazili, Yemeni forces executed 257 operations against Houthi targets on Saturday, reportedly killing at least 700 rebels. The conflict escalated after a 2022 truce collapsed in July and has caused significant displacement since then.

Story summary
Saudi Arabia is planning a major military operation against Houthi rebels in Yemen, expected to start within weeks. The assault will involve Yemeni ground troops under Saudi oversight and supported by Saudi air strikes, with the goal of retaking territory on the Red Sea coast that the Houthis captured last month. While the US provides intelligence support, other allies like Europe and regional partners offer defensive aid but do not participate directly in combat operations. The conflict began when Houthi fighters drove the internationally recognized Yemen government out of Sanaa in 2014, prompting Saudi Arabia to enter the civil war as part of an Arab coalition in 2015. A ceasefire agreed upon in 2022 broke down this year due to renewed attacks by the Houthis on Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping routes. Yemen’s leader Rashad al-Alimi announced on October 4th that military operations would begin to reclaim all territory held by the Houthi group and extend state authority across the entire country, aiming to retake control of critical areas like the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a vital shipping route.
