Can Yemen’s government forces sustain their offensive against the Houthis?

Houthi missile strikes, including an attack that killed at least five people near Aden’s al-Maashiq presidential palace on Thursday, are threatening supply routes used by Yemen’s government forces. Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani was at the palace but was unharmed; the Houthis said they had targeted an operational headquarters. Houthi territorial gains around Taiz have also severed key roads and put government supply ports and airports at risk. The disruption could complicate the government’s Dawn of Yemen operation to retake Houthi-held territory, although officials say logistical challenges will not stop the offensive.
