Yemen Government Launches Major Offensive Against Houthis; Strait of Hormuz Tanker Attacks
The internationally recognized Yemeni government, supported by the Saudi-led coalition, has launched a major offensive to reclaim Houthi-held territory, including strategic sites near Bab el-Mandeb. Concurrently, two tankers were struck in the Strait of Hormuz, and Houthis claim new attacks in Saudi Arabia, indicating a broader regional escalation. Confidence in the offensive's immediate success and the full scope of Houthi retaliatory capabilities remains medium.
