Yemeni Forces Strike Houthi Sites in Taiz; Alimi Vows to Retake Western Coast

Yemeni government forces conducted airstrikes on Houthi positions in Taiz province, and Presidential Leadership Council President Rashad Alimi asserted the state's capacity to regain the initiative on the western coast. The strikes signal an escalation in the long-running conflict, though the extent of damage and any shift in territorial control remain unverified. This development matters as it could alter the balance of power in a strategically vital coastal region.
