Pro-Saudi forces have started a new military operation aganist the Houthis movement in western Yemen following a conflict between the Houthis and forces loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in the country’s capital, Sanaa.
Saleh was killed during clashes in Sanaa on December 4. However, the tensions between his supporters and the Houthis remained. Pro-Saudi forces used them to launch own advance and already captured the area of al-Khokha near Maqbanah.
