Rebel forces in Yemen’s Houthi movement are advancing their military campaign, seizing control of key strategic areas along the Saudi border as clashes with Saudi-led coalition forces intensify. The escalation follows a series of cross-border attacks, including drone and missile strikes, which have raised fears of a broader regional conflict. Analysts warn that the shift in momentum could further destabilize the already fragile ceasefire, pushing the war toward a more aggressive phase. With Saudi Arabia responding with airstrikes and ground operations, the standoff threatens to draw in additional regional powers.
