Summary
Saudi Arabia led a 10-member coalition in launching airstrikes against al-Houthi targets in Yemen on March 25. It remains unclear which countries are involved in the coalition and what ground targets have been engaged, but rumored participants are the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt and Sudan. Notably, the United States is taking a back seat in the operation, limiting its role to "logistical and intelligence support." Even in that limited role, the United States could be providing critical support when it comes to precision-guided strikes.
