Yemen government forces launch offensive against Houthis with Saudi support
–
Neutral summary
Yemen's Saudi-backed government announced on October 4 a major military campaign to recapture all territory held by the Iran-aligned Houthis. The offensive, named Operation Yemen Dawn, is supported by around 100 Saudi fighter jets. By October 6, government forces claimed to have taken control of Dhubab and the port of Mocha in the Bab el-Mandeb area, a key Red Sea shipping route. The Houthis dismissed these reports as "completely untrue" and said they retain control over captured territories. They also claimed attacks on Riyadh's international airport, an oil refinery, and military bases in Saudi Arabia. On October 5, a meeting in Riyadh of the alliance formed in Mecca in August led to an agreement for Turkey and Pakistan to deploy troops to Saudi Arabia. The Yemeni government reported more than 1,500 Houthis killed or wounded in the last 24 hours, though these figures could not be independently verified. Analysts warn the conflict risks drawing Saudi Arabia and Iran into direct confrontation.
