Story summary

Rashad al-Alimi, leader of the Saudi Arabia-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) in Yemen, announced on October 4, 2026, a major offensive against the Houthis to reclaim lost territories. The Houthis, backed by Iran, recently seized much of Yemen’s Red Sea coast and control critical areas like Taiz, significantly impacting strategic locations such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Saudi Arabia is planning an assault led by ground forces from the Yemeni government with aerial support from the kingdom's military to counter the Houthi advance. The offensive aims to restore control over vital shipping routes and retake territories held by the Houthis, who have been expanding their influence since September 2026. The conflict has deepened humanitarian crises in Yemen, where millions face acute hunger and hundreds of thousands are displaced.
