Yemeni Armed Forces Neutralize 158 Houthi Military Assets in Recent Offensive
The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced the destruction or disablement of 158 Houthi military vehicles and pieces of equipment following a series of intensive strikes carried out over the past several hours as part of the ongoing "Dawn of Yemen" operation.
The military spokesperson confirmed that the operations involved a coordinated campaign of airstrikes, drone attacks, and heavy artillery fire targeting Houthi positions, supply lines, and combat formations across multiple fronts. Official reports indicate that the air force executed 17 sorties, while drone units conducted 123 precision strikes across the Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Madaribah, and southwestern fronts, successfully hitting fortified positions and key military assets.
Ground support units significantly contributed to the offensive, with rocket launchers executing 60 strikes and field artillery units conducting 782 separate engagements. These operations targeted enemy fortifications, firing positions, and sniper nests. Preliminary field assessments estimate that approximately 127 Houthi militants and commanders were killed or wounded, with many others reportedly fleeing the front lines in Al-Jawf, Marib, and Taiz.
On the ground, military units including the Emergency Forces and the Nation Shield forces successfully captured new strategic positions in the Al-Jawf sector. Meanwhile, in Taiz, government forces, supported by popular resistance groups, continued to repel Houthi incursions and neutralize sources of hostile fire. In the southern and southwestern sectors, the Nation Shield forces, the Giants Brigades, and the National Resistance launched coordinated offensives, reclaiming additional strategic territory.
The military spokesperson reaffirmed the commitment of the Armed Forces to their national mandate, emphasizing that operations will continue with a focus on tactical precision. He further stressed that all necessary precautions are being taken to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure throughout the duration of these military engagements.
