Major military escalation in Yemen: government forces take control of strategic heights in al-Jawf and fierce battles in Taiz

Al-Jawf, Yemen ·

Yemen's government forces said they had taken control of strategic mountains in al-Jawf and neutralised hundreds of Houthi fighters, as heavy fighting continued in Taiz.

Yemen has been divided since the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) took Sanaa and much of the north in 2014, and internationally recognised government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, fight them on several fronts.
