Are the Houthis nearing defeat?

The Saudi-led coalition has intensified its military campaign against Houthi-controlled territories in northwestern Yemen, launching successive waves of airstrikes this week. The coalition issued prior warnings to residents in the capital, Sanaa, to vacate the vicinity of two key oil facilities before the strikes were conducted.

Simultaneously, ground operations have escalated as government troops and allied formations engage in active combat with Houthi forces. The intensified aerial and ground activity follows a period of conflict, raising questions regarding the current status and potential decline of Houthi military capabilities in the region.
