Reuters stated there are speculations about a ground invasion in Yemen.
...or just reinforcing the border, to keep the festivities on the far side, where they belong.
The reports said that Saudi Arabia Egypt talked about the possibility of setting their feet on the ground, while Saudi leaders say that Saudi Arabia enters the Yemeni lands, it will not get out before eliminating the Houthi militias; the ground war will be long and brutal.

I expect the real action around Aden.
