WorldHouthis and Yemeni forces clash fiercely: Why each front matters

Yemeni government forces recognised by the United Nations and the Houthis are fighting intensely across northern, western and central regions to expand their control. Aid agencies say at least 194 people have been killed and 880 wounded over the past two weeks in Taiz, the western coast, al-Jawf, Marib and Dhalea. The fronts are strategically important because they affect access to the Red Sea, government influence in the north and control of oil-producing Marib.
