Yemeni Government Claims 1,860 Houthi Casualties in 'Dawn of Yemen' Offensive

Yemeni government forces claim to have neutralized 1,860 Houthi fighters during the 'Dawn of Yemen' campaign, which aims to retake all Houthi-held territory, including the capital Sanaa. The offensive follows recent Houthi missile strikes on Saudi airports, which killed three people.

The conflict has intensified regional tensions, with Turkey and Pakistan agreeing to deploy troops to Saudi Arabia, and the UN expressing deep concern over the sharp escalation in fighting.
