The Houthi movement in Yemen is reportedly trying to raise the cost of the war for Saudi Arabia as attacks and fighting intensify across the country.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in 2014, the Houthi rebels—who control much of northern Yemen—have stepped up strikes on Saudi targets, including air raids on oil infrastructure and missile launches aimed at coalition forces.
Saudi Arabia has responded with a series of air raids on Houthi positions and supply lines, creating a cycle of escalation that has seen both sides suffer significant damage.
The war, which began after the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, has drawn in a Saudi‑led coalition that has been conducting operations since 2015, while the rebels receive support from Iran.
The latest surge in fighting has heightened concerns about the humanitarian toll in Yemen and the prospects for a negotiated settlement, as both sides continue to inflict damage on each other’s infrastructure.
