Yemeni government’s military says its forces advancing against Houthis

What happened: The military of Yemen's internationally recognised government says its forces killed hundreds of Houthi fighters in targeted operations over the past 24 hours as part of operation "Dawn of Yemen". Why it matters: Battles are raging around Mocha and Dhubab as Saudi-backed Yemeni forces advance to recapture areas around the Bab al-Mandeb strait. A Yemen expert said there is no mediation happening and the violence will not die down soon.
