The Yemeni armed forces announced that they had carried out 1,326 precision strikes targeting Houthi militia gatherings, vehicles, fortifications, and firing positions over the past 24 hours.

Yemeni armed forces spokesperson Colonel Majed Al-Nazili said that on the eastern front, west of Marib, units capitalized on preparatory fire and advanced toward their designated targets. Air force and drone operations supported the offensive along the front, striking Houthi movements, reinforcements, and firing positions to clear the way for assault units.

Al-Nazili added, in an official statement, that this progress coincided with coordinated operational pressure on the southern and western fronts, which limited the militia's ability to maneuver, move reserves, and reorganize its combat formations between axes.

He confirmed that in Taiz, the armed forces, backed by the popular resistance, captured several positions and recovered heavy weapons and military equipment, while also striking Houthi reinforcements and dismantling their defensive positions.
In addition to these field gains, the initial tally of strikes resulted in the neutralization of around 370 Houthi fighters and the destruction or disabling of dozens of vehicles and military assets.

The Yemeni armed forces spokesperson noted that all strikes were directed exclusively at legitimate military targets, verified in advance, with precautions taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
