Story summary

Saudi-backed Yemeni forces claim they have strengthened control over the highest peak in the Jabal Habashi district of Taiz, part of an ongoing operation called "Dawn of Yemen" aimed at reclaiming territory from Houthi fighters. The Saudi-led coalition, which supports these efforts, asserts that Houthi-controlled areas such as the capital Sanaa and governorates like Saada and Amran are the sources of Houthi missile threats against Saudi Arabia. This strategic move by Yemeni forces is significant in the broader context of the conflict between pro-government forces backed by Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels who control much of northern Yemen, including important cities and infrastructure.
