WarFronts Update:
Well, folks, that's why we added the disclaimer. Situation on the ground in Yemen is developing very quickly, and while the Houthis are far from guaranteed to be victorious at this stage, they've got serious momentum on their side. Not to mention, the breakdown of the Saudi-backed forces certainly helps.
We'll be providing an update on the situation on Friday.

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a major ground offensive toward Taiz and the strategic Red Sea coastline, but Saudi-backed Yemeni forces responded with a swift, coordinated counterattack from multiple directions. With over 500 fighters killed and oil prices nearing $100 per barrel, both sides believe this battle could decide Yemen's future.
