Saudi-Backed Government Forces Aim To Restore State Authority
Yemen’s leader, Rashad al-Alimi, has announced the start of military operations to retake territory held by the Iran-backed Houthi armed group and restore state authority across the country. The campaign aims to extend the authority of the state and its institutions over the entire national territory. Yemeni forces have already executed precision targeting operations against Houthi sites, resulting in significant casualties. The conflict has intensified since a fragile truce collapsed in July, displacing hundreds of thousands of people. This development was reported by Al Jazeera.
