Yemen launches ‘Fajr al-Yaman’ operation to reclaim state institutions
The Yemeni government has launched the ‘Fajr al-Yaman’ (Dawn of Yemen) military operation, marking a strategic shift from defensive containment to an offensive campaign aimed at reclaiming state institutions and territory. Launched on October 5, 2026, the operation seeks to end the Houthi coup and restore sovereignty over Yemen’s land, airspace, and territorial waters.
President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, is actively monitoring the military developments. The operation is being conducted with the support of the legitimacy support coalition, led by Saudi Arabia. Government officials stated that the campaign is not directed at specific social or religious groups but is a constitutional necessity to protect citizens and secure the region.
The Yemeni government emphasized that Houthi control poses a direct threat to international maritime security, particularly in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab strait. The goal of the operation is to transition toward a comprehensive and sustainable peace by re-establishing the authority of the legitimate state and preventing the country from being used as a platform for regional instability.
