WorldWhy is fighting intensifying in Yemen’s Taiz governorate?

Yemen’s internationally recognised government and the Iran-backed Houthis are fighting for control of strategically important Taiz governorate. Government forces say they have repelled waves of attacks and carried out air strikes, while Houthi fighters advance under heavy fire. Battles have reached the outskirts of Taiz City, imperilling civilians; local authorities said a shell killed a 14-day-old infant in Dhubab.
