Yemen's government announces all-out war to reclaim land from Houthis
What happened
Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council announced military operations to retake all territory held by Houthi fighters, chair Rashad al-Alimi said.
Al-Alimi said the campaign aims to restore state authority and institutions across the country.
Houthi forces cut the main road into Taiz through al-Safiya and took its police station, a local police source told AFP.
Three Yemeni military sources said the move effectively encircled Taiz, while fighting continued on the road linking the city to Aden.
“I announce today the start of military operations to retake the remaining territories of the republic”
