WorldYemeni government forces target Sanaa, but defeating Houthis will be difficult
Yemeni government forces say they have made strategic gains near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, retaking Dhubab and the port city of Mocha while advancing north along the Red Sea coast. Presidential Leadership Council head Rashad al-Alimi has announced a major offensive to recover Houthi-held territory, including Sanaa. Analysts say divisions within the anti-Houthi camp and scattered, poorly equipped government forces could limit the offensive, while the conflict appears to be entering a more dangerous phase.
