The BBC has secured unusual permission to enter the active combat zones in Yemen, providing a direct look at the ongoing fighting. The news organization traveled to the front lines to accompany troops who are actively supporting the government forces. This rare on-the-ground reporting offers a glimpse into the intense battles currently taking place as various factions vie for control over key areas. The coverage highlights the challenging conditions faced by these soldiers while they engage in direct combat. By embedding with these pro-government units, the BBC aims to document the reality of the conflict from the perspective of those directly involved in the fighting on the ground.
The Houthis are an Iran‑backed rebel group that seized large parts of Yemen in 2014, fighting the internationally recognised government forces supported by a Saudi‑led coalition; battles over cities often dictate civilian safety and aid access.
