The operation could involve more than 100,000 Saudi-backed Yemeni troops, backed by Saudi airstrikes. Riyadh is considering a limited attack on the coast or a wider attack in several districts in Yemen.

The US is providing intelligence support, but Saudi Arabia's allies are not expected to participate directly in the fighting. The exact timing and scope of the operation remains undecided.
