Course of the conflict

As Anadolu Agency reports, the conflict in Yemen has continued since 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and several provinces. In 2015, a Saudi Arabia-led coalition intervened in support of Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

The 2022 truce ceased to be in effect in July, after which hostilities intensified.
