> Yemen’s internationally recognised government has announced a major military operation to reclaim all territory held by the Ansar Allah Houthis. President Rashad Muhammad al-Alimi said the campaign seeks to restore security and extend state authority, stressing that it is a state battle to restore institutions rather than a war against the people of Sanaa, any sect or tribe.
