Yemeni Armed Forces, supported by local residents, have engaged in the most severe military confrontations seen in years against Houthi militia across the eastern and western fronts of Taiz.

Field sources reported that the fighting, which commenced on Wednesday evening, has been concentrated in strategic locations including Jabal Han, the 30th Street, the Old Airport, and the Al-Dumaynah region. Additionally, significant clashes were reported on the Al-Kuraifat front in the eastern part of the city, marking a level of military escalation not witnessed in the region for an extended period.

The combat zones experienced the intensive use of various heavy and medium weaponry, accompanied by sustained artillery exchanges between the opposing sides. This intensification of hostilities underscores the heightened military tension currently prevailing in the governorate.
