Yemen: coalition campaign, Sanaa strikes, migrant shipwreck, Houthi strength
What it means
The Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen's government announced a full-scale campaign to eliminate the Houthis on Oct. 4. Government strikes hit Sanaa under Operation Dawn of Yemen, killing a child; a migrant shipwreck killed dozens, including 15 children.
Why it matters
A coalition campaign to eliminate the Houthis ends a four-year pause, while government strikes on Sanaa kill civilians. A report says the Houthis emerge from years of fighting with formidable capabilities, and the IOM counts 15 children dead in one shipwreck.
How it affects you
Migrant routes off Yemen are deadly: the IOM recovered 15 children's bodies and many are still missing. Air strikes on Sanaa kill and wound civilians, so travel and safety there carry direct risk.
