Yemen's Hudaydah province has initiated a military operation dubbed "Fajr Yemen" aimed at reclaiming areas held by Houthi militia. According to Ali Hamid, director of information in Hudaydah province, the operation seeks to retake control of the coastal region south of Hudaydah and west of Taiz, ultimately reaching areas under Houthi control. The operation is being carried out by various Yemeni forces.
The Yemeni forces have made significant gains in the western coast, securing control of areas in the Dhabab district and advancing towards the Mocha district. The clashes are ongoing, with dozens of Houthi elements reportedly surrendering. Hamid emphasized that the confrontations may expand to other areas and urged residents in Houthi-controlled zones to distance themselves from militant positions.
The operation has received support from the Arab coalition backing the Yemeni government. Hamid expressed appreciation for the coalition's assistance on military, economic, and developmental levels. He stressed that the Yemeni armed forces are prepared to liberate the entire country and build a Yemen free from Houthi militia.
According to Hamid, the Yemeni state will eventually assert control over the entire territory. The military operations in Yemen are being managed from a single operations room, ensuring a coordinated effort to oust the Houthi militia. The Yemeni forces' objective is to establish a unified and stable country.
The operation's progress has been marked by significant advancements, with forces pushing to regain control of strategic areas. The Houthi militia has been entrenched in these regions for years, causing instability and conflict. The Yemeni government's efforts to reclaim control are seen as crucial to achieving peace and stability in the region.
The international community has been closely monitoring the developments in Yemen, with many countries expressing support for the Yemeni government's efforts to restore stability and security. The Arab coalition's backing has been instrumental in bolstering the Yemeni forces' capabilities.
As the operation continues, residents in the affected areas are facing significant challenges, including displacement and humanitarian concerns. Efforts are being made to provide assistance and support to those affected, with humanitarian organizations and government agencies working together to address the crisis.
