Yemen’s presidential council head Rashad al-Alimi announces the start of military operations aimed at retaking territory still held by the Houthis. He says the campaign is meant to extend the authority of Yemen’s state and its institutions across the full national territory.
Al Jazeera reports that al-Alimi frames the operation as a way to restore state authority throughout Yemen. The Hindu similarly describes the announcement as a drive to regain remaining areas under Houthi control. Free Malaysia Today adds operational context, saying the move comes after Houthis encircle the city of Taiz and cut the main supply route, setting the stage for a push by government-aligned forces.
Across the reports, the common element is the presidential council’s decision to launch a military campaign to reclaim Houthi-held areas; the outlets differ mainly in how much they emphasize broader aims versus immediate developments affecting Taiz and supply lines.
