Yemen government pushes military, diplomatic counteroffensive against Houthis

Yemen's Saudi-backed government claims battlefield gains in Taiz, including Mount Qarafan and Mount Zalat, while pressing a diplomatic campaign at the UN General Assembly to reverse Houthi gains. The Houthis seized Yemen's Red Sea coast this month, displacing about 132,000 people. Analysts say the government is regaining momentum but has not launched a broad campaign.
