AIYemeni warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on Wednesday, targeting Houthi weapons depots, military vehicles, and troop carriers in northern Marib province and western Al-Jawf province.
According to Al Arabiya, the Yemeni Armed Forces' air force conducted five strikes on ballistic missile storage sites, a launch base, and camouflaged weapons caches in and around Maas camp on the northern outskirts of Marib. The report added that airstrikes in the Al-Jawf junction targeted military vehicles and a troop carrier heading from Sanaa to reinforce Houthi frontlines in Al-Jawf.
Al Arabiya, citing its sources, reported that additional strikes targeted Houthi trenches and gatherings in the Al-Khasf and Al-Aqsha areas, located in the desert between Marib and Al-Jawf provinces.
Clashes were concentrated in the Al-Mansoura and Al-Sharira areas and around Jabal Noman, following the recapture of Al-Kafir mountains and other strategic high ground overlooking Houthi positions. Meanwhile, drone strikes targeted a Houthi site in Al-Wazi'iyah.
In Jabal Habashi district west of Taiz, the armed forces regained control of the Yafres, Al-Kulaiba, Al-Qahaf, and Al-Nawazil areas, as well as several key mountain heights. They also carried out several ambushes against Houthi fighters and vehicles, resulting in dozens of casualties among the militia, the capture of five military patrol vehicles, and the destruction of an armored vehicle used to target residential areas.
On the Al-Salu front southeast of Taiz, 12 Houthi fighters were killed and dozens wounded during fierce clashes after government forces repelled a Houthi attack on their positions.
These developments coincided with the Houthis sending major reinforcements—including more than 30 military patrol vehicles carrying fighters—to the southern and western fronts of Taiz, heading toward the Al-Salu, Jabal Habashi, and Hayfan fronts.
