The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced that their combat aircraft carried out 19 airstrikes on fronts in Marib, Taiz and Lahij governorates, targeting positions, gathering points and vehicles belonging to the Houthi militia. Drones also conducted 267 sorties against Houthi fighting positions, vehicles, weapons and military resources. The official spokesperson for the armed forces, Colonel Majid Al-Nuzaili, explained that field artillery and rocket launchers had carried out 944 targeted operations. These strikes targeted militia gatherings, reinforcements, firing positions, fortifications, trenches and sniper locations.
He said preliminary figures from field reports indicated that approximately 267 militia commanders and fighters had been neutralized as a result of the operations, either through death, injury or flight from the battlefield. A total of 97 Houthi military vehicles and other transport vehicles, along with artillery pieces and launchers, were destroyed or disabled. Several of their positions, fortifications and firing points were also destroyed. Monitoring and verification operations are continuing to establish the overall figures. Colonel Majid Al-Nuzaili noted that personnel from the Yemeni Armed Forces’ Sixth, Seventh and Third Military Regions, deployed across various fronts, had continued to carry out their combat duties with skill and capability. They had also maintained operations to counter militia activities and target their positions and gathering points.
He said that in Taiz governorate, armed forces personnel, supported by popular resistance fighters, continued clashes along several axes, repelling militia attacks and targeting their activities, gatherings and sources of fire. He added that on the Northern Front and the Al-Jawf Front, emergency force units were carrying out their combat duties alongside personnel of the “Homeland Shield” (Dira Al-Watan) forces. They were also clearing mines from areas previously recaptured during earlier military operations.
On Sunday, operations continued to counter Houthi militia activities and target their positions and gathering points. Al-Nuzaili stressed that Yemeni Armed Forces personnel on the southern and southwestern fronts, together with the “Homeland Shield” forces, the “Giants Brigades” (Al-Amaliqa Brigades) and the National Resistance, were continuing to fulfil their combat responsibilities. He said the forces had managed to gain control of several positions in some sectors, while clashes and efforts to counter militia movements continued in other areas.
The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed that their personnel remained committed to carrying out their national duty with determination, while taking the necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian property. These developments come amid intense clashes between the Yemeni Armed Forces, supported by popular resistance fighters, and Houthi militia members in the Sabir Al-Mawadim District, south of Taiz city, along the Taiz front. Military sources told the website September Net that Yemeni Armed Forces personnel, backed by popular resistance fighters, were engaged in heavy fighting against the Houthis on the Kahlan front in the Sabir area, inflicting significant human and material losses on the militia. Earlier, the Yemeni Armed Forces shot down a Houthi drone in the Al-Shaqab Front after it entered the airspace over the battlefront.
