SANA’A, YEMEN – In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, coalition forces have launched airstrikes against Houthi targets in the capital city of Sana’a.
According to reports, the airstrikes targeted Houthi military installations and command centers in the city. The operation is aimed at weakening the Houthi rebels’ grip on the capital.
The coalition forces involved in the operation have not been specified, but it is likely that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are participating.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since 2015, pitting the Houthi rebels against the internationally recognized government. The war has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with millions of Yemenis facing food insecurity, displacement, and disease.
This latest development is likely to exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in Yemen. The international community is calling for restraint and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
