Yemen : Houthis Fortify Hodeidah Amid Anticipation of Ground Offensive

Houthi forces have reportedly intensified their defensive preparations in Hodeidah. According to sources, the Iran-backed group has planted extensive minefields around the strategic Red Sea port and mobilized reinforcements to key positions.
These measures come amid growing speculation of a potential ground offensive by Yemeni government forces, possibly supported by international allies.
The port of Hodeidah, a critical hub for humanitarian aid and trade, has long been a focal point in the conflict.
The Houthis' defensive strategy includes fortifying urban areas and deploying fighters to strategic locations, reflecting their anticipation of a large-scale assault.
This escalation raises concerns about the humanitarian impact on civilians in the region, as well as the broader implications for Yemen's fragile peace process.
Observers are closely monitoring the situation as tensions continue to rise.
