Yemeni forces claim key heights as Houthi attacks continue

The internationally recognized Yemeni government continues a major military campaign aimed at reclaiming areas held by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. Recent reports indicate government forces are securing key positions in the western Taiz district, which overlooks critical coastal areas. The offensive follows a formal declaration of war by the Saudi-backed government to restore state authority across the country.

Buy NO

YES overvaluedSlight gapMedium confidence

Ground fighting is concentrated in Taiz and the Houthis still hold Sanaa, so an entry by the deadline is less likely than the market implies.

“No”Fair price range88–98¢
  • The government's announced ground offensive is aimed at al-Waziiya in Taiz, far south of the capital.
  • The Houthis have held Sanaa since 2014, withstood years of Saudi- and UAE-led campaigns, and have taken new ground in recent months.
  • Operations against Sanaa so far are strikes by Yemen's armed forces, alongside the declared campaign to recapture Houthi-held territory.
CURRENT MARKET

Will Yemeni forces enter Sanaa by November 30?

⚠Risk: The call assumes the Houthis keep Sanaa; a government breakthrough north of Taiz that opens a path for qualifying PLC-aligned ground forces to deliberately operate inside Sanaa's municipal boundary would be an early signal that the No case is at risk.
Next watch: Where the government's ground forces advance next from Taiz, and whether fighting spreads to areas closer to the capital.
