Yemen government mounts push to recapture Sanaa as fronts widen

Yemen’s internationally recognised government launched a counteroffensive, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, to retake Sanaa from the Houthis as fighting expands across Taiz, al-Bayda and al-Jawf. The Houthis say they repelled the assault and cite casualties, including an air strike on a prison in al-Hazm. The WHO reports at least 728 killed or wounded since Aug. 23 and about 21,000 displaced in Taiz, highlighting a renewed, high-casualty phase with civilians affected and roads into Sanaa being warned about.

Yemen’s Houthis Face Renewed War as Tribal Alliances Grow and Government Coalesces

Yemen’s Houthis have resumed military action by striking Saudi ships in the Red Sea and clashing with government forces in Dhale, signaling a shift from rhetoric to fighting. However, the government camp is more cohesive and externally supported, while a rising anti-Houthi tribal alliance in al-Jawf could complicate the rebels’ position. With renewed focus on securing Red Sea shipping, regional realignments may form to protect maritime traffic, and the balance of power will depend on government unity, tribal coordination, and sustained international backing. The Houthis still hold advantages in missiles and organized command, but a decisive shift is not guaranteed.
