Government forces attacked houthis on Yemen's western coast

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 11:00

Yemen's government forces, with the support of Saudi Arabia, launched attacks on Saturday against houthi fighters on the country's western coast. The military operation was confirmed by government forces sources.

The attack occurred a day after the houthi movement, backed by Iran, took control of the western coastal region of Yemen. This offensive represents an attempt to recover the lost territory.

The houthis are a Shia movement that has controlled much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, since 2014. The group is aligned with Iran and is in conflict with Yemen's internationally recognized government.

Why this matters

This article is relevant for regional readers because it documents a direct escalation of the conflict in Yemen, with the Saudi-backed government responding militarily to the houthi advance on the western coast. The Yemeni population faces the immediate consequences of these confrontations, in an area that is crucial for the entry of humanitarian aid and for the regional stability of the Red Sea.
