Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, announced a military operation aimed at retaking territory held by the Houthi movement, according to Al Jazeera.
Al-Alimi said the campaign's objective is to restore state authority throughout Yemen, framing the operation as part of a broader effort to reassert government control nationwide.
A nationwide goal
By describing the aim as restoring state authority "throughout Yemen," al-Alimi signaled that the operation is intended to extend beyond any single region, rather than being limited to a narrow, localized campaign.
The announcement comes amid Yemen's prolonged conflict between the internationally recognized government and the Houthi movement, which has controlled large parts of the country, including the capital Sanaa, for years.
What comes next
Details on the specific military steps involved in the operation, including timelines or targeted areas, have not been fully outlined in the announcement. The campaign's progress is likely to be closely watched given its stated scope.
