Yemeni armed forces launch 13 airstrikes, 690 attacks on Houthis

Yemen's armed forces announced they had carried out 13 airstrikes and 690 attacks targeting Houthi militia gatherings, fortifications, and combat positions across several battlefronts in recent hours, as part of Operation Fajr Al-Yemen.

Military spokesperson Colonel Majid Abdullah Al-Nazili said the operations included 13 strikes by fighter jets, 67 drone attacks, 42 rocket launcher strikes, and 581 artillery operations. These targeted Houthi gatherings, firing positions, vehicles, and fortifications on the northern fronts, as well as in Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Bayda, Taiz, and the southern and southwestern fronts.

He added that Emergency Forces, the Shield of the Nation, the Giants Brigades, the National Resistance, and units from the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh military regions, along with Shabwa Defense, continue to carry out combat missions and repel Houthi attacks and infiltration attempts. He noted that clashes took place on the Taiz, Marib, southern, and southwestern fronts.

According to the statement, the operations resulted in neutralizing around 219 Houthi leaders, fighters, and supervisors, who were killed, wounded, or fled the battlefield. In addition, 103 vehicles and pieces of equipment—including engineering vehicles, transport trucks, and armored vehicles—were destroyed or damaged, along with several Houthi sites and fortifications.

The Yemeni armed forces stressed that Houthi targeting of civilian sites and neighborhoods in the interim capital Aden and homes in Taiz with ballistic missiles would not deter them from continuing military operations. They emphasized that all necessary precautions are being taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
