Yemeni army advances in 'Fajr Al-Yemen' offensive with 2,200 airstrikes

Yemen's armed forces have continued to advance their offensive operations as part of the 'Fajr Al-Yemen' campaign on the eastern and southern fronts, achieving field gains under heavy fire support and carrying out 2,200 precision strikes by warplanes, drones, field artillery, rocket launchers, and sniper units.

According to the official spokesperson for the Yemeni armed forces, these strikes targeted the dismantling of enemy defense systems, focusing on command and control centers, fortifications and firing positions, observation and reconnaissance points, troop concentrations and reserve deployments, as well as weapons and ammunition depots, transport and supply vehicles, and high-value military targets deep within enemy lines.

In Taiz, concentrated strikes destroyed militia convoys and reinforcements, disrupted their mobilization, and hampered their ability to support positions or reorganize forces. Initial field estimates indicate that around 1,200 fighters were neutralized and more than 440 military vehicles and equipment were destroyed or damaged across various operational axes.

In parallel with the offensive, military engineering units on the western front continue to clear recaptured sites and areas of landmines and improvised explosive devices planted by the militias, securing roads and passages to protect civilians and facilitate their return. The strikes were carried out against legitimate military targets in accordance with international humanitarian law and the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessary precautions.
