Yemeni militias are reportedly planning to launch a ground offensive against the Houthis, following a large-scale US attack against the group, US and Yemeni officials say.
The ramped-up bombing campaign, which has killed at least 123 people since mid-March and compounded an already dire humanitarian situation in the country, has severely degraded the Houthi’s capabilities, the officials claimed.
Strikes have targeted Sanaa, the port city of Hodeidah and the Houthi stronghold of Saada, including densely populated areas.
US and Yemeni officials told the Wall Street Journal that Yemeni factions are planning to use the strikes on the Houthis as an opportunity to oust the group from some of their strongholds across the Red Sea coast.
