Yemen: Government forces claim strategic gains from Houthis
Yemen’s internationally recognised government claims its forces have seized control of the strategic al-Jawf mountain range from Houthi rebels. The advance is part of an offensive named "Operation Dawn of Yemen", now in its second month, which saw troops backed by fighter jets and drones storm Houthi fortifications and seize military equipment.
Rashad al-Alimi, head of the government's Presidential Leadership Council, stated the operation's goal is to restore state authority across the entire country. The claimed gains in al-Jawf province, however, come as fighting escalates on several other fronts.
In one such escalation, a Houthi ballistic missile struck a military training camp in the southern province of al-Dhalea, killing eight people and wounding more than 15. The attack occurred despite the government's reported territorial advances elsewhere.
