Saudi Arabia said to consider Houthis offensive in Yemen - press
- Operation could launch in coming weeks
- Considering coastal push to secure Red Sea route
- Will be led by Yemeni forces on the ground
Context: Renewed Saudi-Houthi fighting threatens Saudi oil facilities and shipping through the Red Sea. The Houthis have attacked Saudi energy infrastructure and gained ground along Yemen’s coast, making a planned Saudi offensive a potential escalation rather than an isolated strike. The report describes a plan, not an offensive already under way.
