Yemeni armed forces launch 943 operations against Houthis

The Yemeni armed forces announced that they carried out 943 airstrikes and targeting operations against Houthi militia positions, gatherings, and vehicles in recent hours as part of Operation 'Dawn of Yemen.' The operations resulted in the neutralization of 221 Houthi leaders and fighters, either killed or wounded, and the destruction or disabling of 73 military vehicles, equipment, and heavy machinery.

Yemeni armed forces spokesperson Colonel Majed Al-Nazili said the tally included 18 airstrikes by fighter jets, 21 drone strikes, 27 rocket launcher attacks, and 877 artillery strikes. These targeted Houthi positions, fortifications, firing points, gatherings, and vehicles across several battlefronts.

On the ground, the Yemeni armed forces, supported by the Popular Resistance, are engaged in clashes on several fronts in Taiz province, repelling Houthi attacks and targeting their gatherings and reinforcements. Military units also launched offensives against Houthi positions in the Marib and Al-Jawf fronts, coinciding with ongoing confrontations and responses to militia movements and sources of fire.

In the southern and southwestern fronts, the 'Shield of the Nation' forces, 'Giants Brigades,' and the 'National Resistance' continue to repel Houthi attacks and infiltration attempts, amid ongoing clashes and shifting control in some sectors in favor of the Yemeni armed forces.

Al-Nazili added that the operations also resulted in the destruction and disabling of 73 military vehicles, equipment, and heavy machinery used for military engineering, as well as damage to Houthi positions and fortifications.

The Yemeni armed forces affirmed that their soldiers "remain steadfast in fulfilling their national duty and continue their mission to achieve the objectives of Operation Dawn of Yemen, while taking necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian sites."
