    Earlier today, Yemen’s Houthis (Ansarallah) said they had targeted KingKhalid International Airport in Riyadh twice —first with several drones andlater with a ballistic missile, framing the attacks as a retaliation to theSaudi-led military campaign in Yemen and the Kingdom’s continued blockade.

    Rashad Al-Alimi, chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council andsupreme commander of the armed forces, declared last week the start of militaryoperations to restore government authority across the country. He later namedthe campaign “Dawn of Yemen.”

    Government forces have sought to recapture territory around the Babel-Mandeb Strait and Mocha that the Houthis seized in September. The Houthis,meanwhile, reported repelling an attempted Saudi advance toward their positionsin eastern Al-Jawf province, claiming that dozens of Saudi personnel werekilled or wounded and several military vehicles were destroyed.

    A UN-brokered truce in 2022 largely halted heavy fighting in Yemen butfailed to produce a lasting settlement. The International Organization forMigration said on Wednesday that more than 200,000 people have beendisplaced since the latest round of fighting began.
