Government vows all weapons against Houthis

The Yemeni government forces have confirmed that they will use "all available weapons" against the Houthis in response to the group's advances along the country's western coast. The Houthis have taken control of the districts of Al-Makha and Hays, as well as Hanish Island, forcing government forces to withdraw southward near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The forces announced that they will begin targeting any movements by the Houthis within the Taiz – Al-Makha operational area, and will avoid civilian areas by using the Taiz – Al-Makha route. Despite the Houthis' territorial advances, they assured that navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait remains "safe and regular," considering their military operations as defensive and aimed at protecting international trade lanes. These developments represent one of the most serious escalations in Yemen since the signing of the UN-mediated ceasefire in 2022, which had halted widespread hostilities.
