> As Yemen’s conflict continues to spill into the Red Sea, forces aligned with the internationally recognised government have recently used drones against Houthi positions across several fronts, including Marib, Taiz and al-Makha. The Houthis retain an advantage in missile and drone capabilities, but the government’s growing use of drones could force changes in Houthi deployments and supply routes and signal preparation for a possible ground war.
