The Iranian-backed Houthis have been reinforcing frontlines in Yemen and preparing possible offensives over the last month. This has now manifested in several incidents over the last 96 hours that may be part of a pattern.

The main information on the Houthis’ activities comes from Al-Ain News in the UAE. It has good security sources in Yemen. As a UAE-based source, Al-Ain opposes the Houthis and is sympathetic to the UAE and to some extent to Saudi Arabia’s views of Yemen.
