Saudi-led coalition says it is carrying out operation against Houthis in Yemen
The Saudi-led coalition has said it is conducting a wide-ranging operation targeting the Houthis in Yemen. No further details have been made public yet.
The Saudi-led military coalition has announced that it is carrying out a wide-ranging operation in Yemen aimed at the Houthis, Al Jazeera reported on 10 October.
The coalition describes the operation as extensive. The report available so far does not say where in Yemen the strikes are taking place, which forces or equipment are involved, when the operation began or what its objective is. No casualties or damage are mentioned either.
Because so little information has been released on the scale and course of the operation, its impact on the situation in Yemen and the wider region cannot yet be assessed. A fuller picture and comments from officials should emerge as more reports appear.
