Phase. Semifinals. Hello there. Very warm welcome to the program. The Saudiled Coalition has launched more strikes in yemen as its military campaign enters a new phase. Houthi leaders have released a statement calling for an immediate halt to those attacks. Fighter jets struck against houthi fighters in tausiz and in aden. Fierce fighting is happening on the ground in aden. But there have been some political developments. The houthi have called for u. N. Talks and have released three generals.

Prior to this, they were completely bearing down with full force rapidly, poised to take over much of the south sense then, we have seen them, effectively stopped in the provinces.
