Inside a Yemeni Frontline City the Houthis Are Trying to Capture

A rare visit to Yemen’s conflict zone has offered a glimpse of the front lines in a city that the Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, is trying to seize.

The visit took place alongside soldiers loyal to the Yemeni government, placing the reporting team with government-aligned forces at the front.

The city is a target of the Houthis’ effort to take control, but the available account does not identify it or describe the extent of the group’s advance.

The brief account provides no further details on casualties, conditions for residents or the outcome of the fighting.
