Yemeni government forces have launched a major offensive to reclaim control of areas still under Houthi rebel influence, framing the operation as a decisive push for territorial liberation. The move marks a significant escalation in the country’s long-running conflict, as government troops seek to reverse recent gains made by the armed group. With both sides holding strategic positions, the outcome could reshape the balance of power in Yemen’s ongoing civil war. The announcement signals a renewed commitment to ending Houthi dominance, though the military and humanitarian challenges remain formidable.
Yemeni government forces have declared a ‘battle for liberation’ to retake remaining territory held by the Houthis.
