Foreign powers should militarily intervene to halt the Houthi advance in southwestern Yemen

Houthi forces are attempting to seize the Kahboub Mountains and routes separating the Red Sea coast from government-held southern Yemen. Control of these positions would consolidate their recent territorial gains and obstruct a government counteroffensive. The UN reported nearly 700 deaths and approximately 130,000 internal displacements. Reuters could not verify the report that Donald Trump cancelled planned U.S. strikes.
