Warplanes from a Saudi-led military coalition conducted airstrikes Wednesday in the southwestern Yemeni city of Taiz, hours after Saudi officials had announced they were ending a nearly monthlong military operation against a rebel group in order to focus on a "political process." The warplanes bombed Houthi positions during heavy clashes in Taiz on Wednesday morning, according to a local official in the city.

Egypt Says It May Send Troops to Yemen to Fight Houthis

Egypt said Thursday that it was prepared to send troops into Yemen as part of a Saudi-led campaign to drive back the Iranian-backed Houthi advance, signaling the growing likelihood of a protracted ground war on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula. A day after Saudi Arabia and a coalition of nine other states began hammering the Houthis with airstrikes and blockading the Yemeni coast, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt said in a statement that the country s navy and air force had joined the campaign and that its army was ready to send ground troops "if necessary."

At Risk of Fragmenting, Yemen Poses Dangers to U.S.

Only months ago, American officials were still referring to Yemen's negotiated transition from autocracy to an elected president as a model for post-revolutionary Arab states. Now, days of factional gun battles in the Yemeni capital have left the president a puppet figure confined to his residence. The country appears to be at risk of fragmenting in ways that could provide greater opportunities both for Iran and for Al Qaeda, whose Yemeni branch claimed responsibility for the first Paris terrorist attack this month.

Yemeni Government Collapses as President and Prime Minister Resign

President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi of Yemen abruptly resigned Thursday night and his entire government stepped down, leaving the country leaderless and possibly opening the way for armed Houthi rebels to take control. A United Nations official confirmed that Mr. Hadi had resigned immediately after a meeting with his Houthi political opponents, hosted by the United Nations envoy to Yemen, Jamal Benomar, in an effort to resolve the political crisis that has gripped the capital, Sana, for days.

Violence Grows in Yemen as Al Qaeda Tries to Fight Its Way Back

When Houthi fighters swept into this town and broke the grip of Al Qaeda, they were greeted by grateful residents, relieved that a months-long ordeal of bombings and assassinations by the militants might be coming to an end. That was in October. And for a time, the Houthis were able to bring "security and stability" to Rada, said Abdullah Idris, a resident who said he had lost a relative in a Qaeda suicide bombing. He was doubtful it would last. "Al Qaeda regrets leaving Rada," he said. "They will take their revenge."
