During the Yemeni Civil War, Houthi fighters took control of Sanaa in late 2014 and seized key government buildings. In 2015 a Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes and a naval blockade to stop Houthi advances toward Aden. The conflict became a damaging stalemate, with thousands of civilians killed by bombing raids, severe harm to infrastructure, and a large-scale humanitarian crisis. A 2022 ceasefire formally ended in October of that year, though relative calm continued until late 2025.
