Story summary

The Southern Transitional Council in South Yemen is urging the US to abandon its support for the anti-Houthi coalition and instead back an independent southern state. This call comes after a renewed offensive by the Houthis, who seized control of the entire Red Sea coast, encircled Taiz (Yemen's third-largest city), and positioned themselves to threaten Aden, the anti-Houthi stronghold. Despite hopes that a lull in fighting since 2022 would allow the coalition to regroup and strengthen, Saudi-led airstrikes on July 13 only led to a Houthi counteroffensive that has proven highly effective against the coalition forces.
