Situation in the country
No additional details about the operation were immediately provided. According to the agency, Yemen has experienced a period of relative calm since 2022 after nearly 12 years of war between government forces backed by a Saudi Arabia-led coalition and the Houthis. The Houthis have controlled the capital, Sanaa, and a large part of the country since 2014. Since late 2023, the group has carried out attacks on Israel and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
