Dozens killed as humanitarian crisis mounts in Yemen: What next for war?

What happened: A missile struck a market in Taiz governorate, Yemen, killing dozens, with Yemen's government and the Houthis each blaming the other. The strike comes a month after the government launched its "Dawn of Yemen" offensive. Key numbers: Offensive launched October 5. Why it matters: The Presidential Leadership Council says the drive to dismantle Houthi military capacity is "irreversible," and observers say the war may worsen before any resolution. An analyst said the operation is better understood as pressure toward a peace deal than total victory.
