Saudi Arabia Preparing Major Military Offensive Against Houthis in Yemen

Saudi forces are preparing a major sea and possible land offensive against Houthis in Yemen, per Yemeni sources cited by The Guardian. Troops withdrew from eastern Yemen and are concentrating toward al-Bayda governorate, captured by Houthis in 2020–21. The build-up follows Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and a declared Red Sea blockade targeting Saudi ships.
