Overnight (Monday to Tuesday), the United States struck three Houthi targets in Yemen, according to a report by the Al-Hadath<\/em> news channel. The strikes focused on Al-Hazm District in Al-Jawf Governorate, targeting a radar station, a communications center, and a Houthi operations and command room. One of the strikes occurred in Al-Abdiyah, an area south of Marib, about 170 kilometers east of Sana\u2019a.<\/p>\n

The U.S. operation is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt Houthi command and control infrastructure, as the Iranian-backed group continues to pose a threat to Red Sea maritime routes.<\/p>\n

Southern Yemeni Forces Preparing for Ground Offensive<\/strong>
\nThe airstrikes come amid reports that Southern Yemeni forces are preparing for a ground assault in the Hudaydah port area, seeking to capitalize on the military pressure applied by recent U.S. actions.<\/p>\n

Ground Battle in the Works<\/strong>
\nAccording to The Wall Street Journal,<\/em> the Southern Yemeni government, which opposes the Houthis, is coordinating with other local forces for a major military operation targeting Houthi strongholds along the Red Sea coast, with a strategic focus on the Hudaydah port. The report indicates that the ground offensive aims to shift the balance of power in the region.<\/p>\n

This move comes after a wave of U.S. airstrikes against the Houthis over the past month. According to the report, anti-Houthi forces in Yemen are trying to take advantage of the damage inflicted on Houthi military and aerial capabilities. The Southern Yemeni government is said to be coordinating with the United Arab Emirates, and also enjoys encouragement from U.S. officials.<\/p>\n

U.S. Support, But Not Leading the Fight<\/strong>
\nU.S. sources have reportedly stated that Washington will support\u2014but not lead\u2014the ground operation. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has made clear it will not take part in the offensive.<\/p>\n

Hudaydah port is considered a critical strategic point along the Red Sea\u2019s maritime trade routes, and an attack there could significantly impact regional shipping and commerce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
