📰 THE FULL STORY
Houthi militia forces have launched a major ground offensive toward Marib, the last significant stronghold held by Yemen's internationally recognized government. The advance marks an escalation beyond the recent drone and missile exchanges between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, shifting the conflict into direct ground combat. A successful Houthi capture of Marib would represent a major strategic turning point in Yemen's multi-year war. The offensive threatens what is described as a vital Middle East corridor.
