Yemeni forces launch offensive to retake Houthi-held al-Waziiya in Taiz

Forces aligned with Yemen's internationally recognised government have launched an offensive to seize al-Waziiya, a mountainous district in Taiz governorate held by the Iran-backed Houthis. The operation, part of a broader 'Dawn of Yemen' campaign announced by Presidential Leadership Council chair Rashad al-Alimi, aims to reclaim the Red Sea coast and the strategic port city of Mocha, which the Houthis captured last month.
