It's closer to them.
James DorseyGUEST

Uh, the Saudis essentially provoked a conflict, if you wish, when they, in the early 2000s, established a then Wahhabi missionary or, or, or religious, uh, institution on the outskirts of the Houthi capital, Saada, in, in Yemen, and were trying to exploit grievances, discontent among Houthi youth with the traditional leadership, and that evolved into several wars between the Houthis and the then Yemeni government headed by Ali Abdullah Saleh.
James DorseyGUEST
7:49
In one of those wars, the Saudis intervened cr- by crossing the border, and the Houthis beat them back.
James DorseyGUEST
7:57
In 2014, the Houthis went on the offensive, captured the, uh, capital of Yemen, Sanaa, and much of the north of the country, and that led to the Saudi intervention in 2015 and a horrendous war.

Conducting strike against Houthi.

Position in Sana'a and Sa'ada.

Oh.

It's in Yemen.

Presidential Leadership Council Chief Rashad Al-Alimi said the operations aim to reclaim remaining territory and extend state authority across the country.
Mina RzoukiHOST

Government forces said they launched strikes on Houthi targets in Sanaa and Saada on Sunday.
Mina RzoukiHOST
0:31
The Houthis also claimed attacks on Aramco oil facilities in Riyadh and the Khurais area, although Saudi authorities did not confirm the claims.
Mina RzoukiHOST
0:38
The escalation comes as fighting intensifies around Taiz, where government forces are seeking to push back the Houthis.

He called on the armed forces, the security forces, and every military formation to carry out their assigned missions under approved plans.
speaker_0HOST
1:14
Earlier on Sunday, forces aligned with the internationally recognized government said they had struck what they described as vital targets in the Houthi-held capital, Sana'a, and in the group's northern stronghold of Saada.
speaker_0HOST
1:25
The Houthi-run Al-Masairah television channel attributed the strikes on Sana'a to Saudi Arabia, which backs the Yemeni government.
speaker_0HOST
1:33
Reuters reported that the conflict, largely quiet since a truce in 2022, flared again this year after the Houthis declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in July.
MacHOST

They say, "'The Dawn of Yemen operation has begun to restore state institutions, liberate the capital Sanaa, and end the Houthi coup,' said Al-Alimi a day after announcing the start of a military operation to again restore the remaining territory of the republic and extend s- extend state authority nationwide." It is kind of amazing for somebody like Al-Alimi, who was basically handpicked by the Saudis and the Emiratis to, uh, sort of, uh, imply that he's the true democratic representation of the people of Yemen.
MacHOST
14:36
But they continue, saying, "The Saudi-led coalition said on Monday that 100 fighter jets were taking part in Operation Dawn of Yemen, providing round-the-clock air support to Saudi-backed Yemeni forces and air cover over the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait." They say, "Coalition spokesperson claimed 324 high-value targets had been destroyed since this operation began, and the coalition's intervention follows overnight Saudi-backed strikes on Sanaa and the northern province of Saada." And they say, "On the ground, Saudi-backed forces claimed Monday to have taken large parts of the Dubab district overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and they also claim control over the Dubab airstrip and key positions around the strait, while Ansar Allah-aligned media denied that Saudi forces had advanced, and Reuters reported that fighting remained underway in the area." So as of this point, I'm gonna show you a map here in a second, it's unclear exactly what sort of territorial, uh, gains have been made at this point.
MacHOST
15:30
Obviously, there's ongoing fighting, and a lot of this is still in motion and could move in any which way direction over the next couple of days here.
MacHOST
15:36
But they also say that, "Elsewhere, Saudi-backed forces claimed, uh, gains in southern Taiz, and, uh, the military campaign-- or the military claimed that it had carried out over 1,100 attacks across Saada, Al Jawf, and, uh, Taiz on the western coast, killing or otherwise neutralizing," in their words, "over 1,700 Houthi fighters." And the figures, of course, could not be independently verified.
MacHOST
15:55
And then last thing from this here is they say that, "Ansar Allah said on Sunday that it had launched ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and in Karais, causing major fires.
MacHOST
16:06
It said that the strikes were retaliation for 50 Saudi airstrikes and missiles over the previous 12 hours." And again, you can see sort of the area that we're talking about here that is still in contention.

And in the article, it said why Taiz is so suddenly important, and the Houthis have been pushing towards Taiz because it is absolutely a strategic place, so they can commandeer the southern coast of Saudi Arabia to shut down their ability to find a way to get their oil to market.
