- Saudi Arabia has few viable options in its conflict with the Houthis, according to CNN's analysis of the Yemen war and the group's territorial advances.
- Houthi forces are pressing a new push in Yemen with heavy fighting erupting, leaving Gulf states with an uncomfortable strategic choice over how to respond, per Reuters and Al Jazeera live coverage.
