🇾🇪🇸🇦 The war in Yemen flares up again on several fronts

Following the Houthis’ rapid advance along the Red Sea, heavy fighting is now continuing deep inside the country — including along the fronts toward Marib, Taiz, al-Jawf, and al-Dhale. Government forces are carrying out air and drone strikes on Houthi positions and convoys; in Taiz, the destruction of trucks carrying weapons and missiles was reported. Marib is particularly important — one of the key oil and gas regions and one of the main strongholds of the internationally recognized government.

For Saudi Arabia, the situation is becoming increasingly unpleasant. At the same time, the Houthis have established themselves at Bab al-Mandab, are continuing the fighting on the internal fronts, and are already attacking Saudi territory itself. Riyadh must choose between further expanding its military involvement and the risk that the Houthis will continue to grow stronger directly along its border and along the most important sea routes.

For several years, Saudi Arabia tried to gradually withdraw from the war in Yemen. Now the front is moving again — and toward a situation in which withdrawal could be significantly more difficult than the return.
