Yemen Forces Target Houthi Positions Across Multiple Fronts

According to Al-Nuzaili, the strikes targeted a variety of military targets, including field commanders, groups of fighters, reinforced sites, and heavy weapon storage areas.

The bombings also targeted cars carrying fighters and supplies. Military reinforcements heading into front-line sectors were among the reported targets.

Al-Nuzaili stated that the effort had hindered Houthi movements and limited the group’s capacity to send new forces to advanced locations. He stated that this had allowed government forces to continue their onslaught across the affected fronts.

The claimed figures included the destruction or disablement of over 330 military vehicles and people carriers. The speaker also stated that heavy weapons and reinforcements destined for the Taiz front had been disrupted.

The military did not provide a separate analysis of the strikes by location or target type in its stated statement. The Yemeni Armed Forces released the operation’s figures and assessments.

According to the release, the campaign aims to damage Houthi military capabilities and limit the group’s capacity to consolidate its positions. It did not provide any information about the individual engagements within the 24-hour period.

Yemen Forces Vow to Continue Military Operations

According to Al-Nuzaili, government forces want to continue striking Houthi military assets and fighter concentration points. He stated that the goal was to prevent the gang from recovering its alleged losses or reclaiming the initiative.

According to the statement, the military battle against troop buildups and resources backing Houthi actions will continue. However, it did not define how many additional strikes were planned or provide a timetable for the following phase.

The spokesperson also discussed civilian protection during the activities. He stated that the military would comply with international humanitarian law and take safeguards to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The statement gave no detailed information concerning human losses or property damage caused by the reported strikes. The announcement centred on military objectives, claimed losses, and the government’s declared plans for future operations.

The figures presented on Thursday are the Yemeni Armed Forces’ version of the campaign. According to the statement, 780 attacks were carried out in 24 hours, resulting in the neutralisation of about 512 Houthi militants and leaders and the destruction or disablement of around 330 military vehicles and people carriers.

Government troops stated they will continue to target Houthi military capabilities on the fronts specified in the announcement. The campaign’s stated goal continues to limit the group’s ability to strengthen its positions and recoup from alleged setbacks.
