The leader of Yemen’s internationally recognised, Saudi-backed government has announced the beginning of a major military operation against the Iran-backed Houthi movement.
The announcement was made on Sunday.
The operation is aimed at taking back territory currently controlled by the Houthis.
The development comes amid the long-running conflict between Yemen’s government and the Houthi movement.
The Houthis control large parts of northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa.
The latest announcement signals a possible escalation in military operations in the country.
The conflict has continued to create security and humanitarian concerns, while regional powers remain closely involved in developments in Yemen.
