Saudi Arabia is preparing a potential offensive against Houthi forces in Yemen, with options under consideration that include synchronized ground operations across multiple fronts such as Marib, supported by Saudi airstrikes and led primarily by Riyadh-backed Yemeni troops. This follows recent Houthi advances along the Red Sea coast and intensified clashes in Marib, where Saudi-aligned government forces have repelled infiltration attempts while undergoing internal restructuring to consolidate command. Ongoing Saudi air operations target Houthi positions and reinforcements in the governorate amid broader escalation tied to Red Sea shipping disruptions. Any direct involvement of Saudi ground units would depend on the scale and timing of the planned campaign, which sources indicate could begin within weeks.
