The fighting on the ground has diminished to the odd skirmish, allowing for the movement of people, goods and much need humanitarian aid.
Unfortunately the Houthi's desire to attack shipping in the Red Sea (using intelligence that is proving unreliable) is dragging other powers into the conflict. Ground action is extremely unlikely, however a targeted bombing of missile production and launch sites is on the table. Such action is likely to result in civilian deaths, undermining trust and subsequently the ability of those trying the help Yemeni civilians.
At this point it is a probable scenario as whilst naval forces in the Red Sea are capable of destroying missiles and drones, having to do so indefinitely risks exhausting munitions.
