Yemeni government military spokesman Majid Nuzaili issued a video statement on October 4, local time, announcing the start of a “liberation war” against the Houthis in Yemen to “recover all of the country's territory and establish complete national sovereignty.” Nuzaili also called on the Houthis to lay down their arms and stop fighting, saying they would be pardoned. Earlier in the day, Chairman Rashad Alimi of Yemen's presidential leadership committee, announced the launch of military operations in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh to recover areas recently controlled by the Houthis. According to people familiar with the matter, this operation will be led by Saudi Arabia, and Yemeni government forces will be responsible for ground combat. The United States provided intelligence support for Saudi Arabia's operations in Yemen, and some regional countries and European countries mainly provided defensive military aid to Saudi Arabia.
