The BBC has gained rare access to a front-line city in Yemen, traveling alongside pro-government soldiers as they continue fighting against Houthi forces for control of the area.
The visit offers an uncommon look at the state of Yemen's protracted conflict, which has persisted for years between the Iran-aligned Houthi movement and forces aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government.
A Rare Look at the Conflict
Access to active front lines in Yemen has been limited throughout the war, making on-the-ground reporting from contested areas uncommon. The BBC's presence with pro-government soldiers provides a firsthand account of conditions faced by fighters and, by extension, the civilians living near the front line.
Details of the specific city and the current military situation were not fully outlined, though the report underscores that control of the area remains contested between the two sides.
The conflict in Yemen has caused a prolonged humanitarian crisis, and continued fighting in front-line areas highlights the ongoing instability facing the country despite periodic ceasefire efforts and diplomatic initiatives.
