Yemen's armed forces spokesperson, Majed Al-Nazili, announced that 558 Houthi fighters, including field commanders, were neutralized and 135 military vehicles and equipment were destroyed or disabled during Operation Dawn of Yemen. He confirmed that the forces continue to advance and expand their territorial gains according to operational plans.

Al-Nazili said the armed forces carried out 1,164 precise and direct strikes in the past 24 hours, with support from warplanes, drones, field artillery, rocket launchers, and snipers. The strikes targeted Houthi gatherings, reinforcements, and vehicles, destroying their fortifications and disrupting their fire sources and supply routes.

He explained that assault units advanced in Taiz and seized new positions, forcing Houthi elements to retreat under heavy air and artillery cover. Meanwhile, southern and Shabwa fronts maintained offensive pressure on Houthi positions, restricting their movement and preventing them from reorganizing or deploying reserves.

On the western front, Al-Nazili said forces stationed along the coast and Bab Al-Mandab repelled hostile advances, imposed fire control over enemy movement routes, and targeted Houthi assembly areas and fire sources.

The spokesperson emphasized that all strikes were directed at legitimate military targets, verified in advance, with necessary precautions taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
