Despite ongoing aerial campaigns led by Saudi Arabia against the Houthi group, missile attacks are likely to continue, according to international security lecturer Rob Geist Pinfold of Kings College London. Pinfold shared his assessment with Al Jazeera, indicating the airstrikes have proven insufficient to halt the Houthi’s capabilities. He suggests a potential need for Saudi Arabia to deploy ground troops to Yemen to effectively address the situation. The expert’s comments highlight the escalating complexities of the conflict in Yemen. This assessment raises questions about the future trajectory of Saudi Arabia’s involvement. The continued missile launches demonstrate the resilience of the Houthi group and the challenges faced by the Saudi-led coalition. Further escalation, as suggested by Pinfold, could significantly impact the humanitarian situation in Yemen.
