Houthis remain focused on consolidating Red Sea coastal gains in Yemen, including areas around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, while conducting repeated ballistic missile and drone strikes on Saudi targets such as airports and energy sites. Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have launched a counteroffensive with extensive Saudi air support, and Riyadh has activated defense pacts drawing in Turkish and Pakistani cooperation. Syria, recovering from its civil war under new leadership, is reportedly weighing limited defensive or offensive assistance to Saudi Arabia against the Iran-aligned Houthis. No verified Houthi statements or actions indicate plans to project force toward Syria, whose distance and shifting alignments present significant operational barriers. Ongoing escalation in Yemen and potential Syrian involvement in the coming weeks represent the main variables that could influence any shift in targeting patterns.
