Yemeni forces launch 133 operations against Houthis

Yemeni government forces carried out 133 operations against Houthi militia positions over the past 24 hours, according to a military spokesperson.

The spokesperson said the operations targeted key Houthi military infrastructure, including weapons storage facilities and a modern command-and-control centre. Government forces also struck several military vehicles used by the militia.

The attacks involved a combination of rocket launchers, artillery fire and drones, with the military saying the strikes focused on disrupting the Houthis’ weapons capabilities and command structure.

The Yemeni government forces have also released video footage showing several of the attacks on Houthi positions. The footage reportedly captures military operations targeting weapons facilities, vehicles and other sites linked to the militia.

The latest operations come amid continued fighting between Yemen’s internationally recognised government forces and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement, with both sides continuing to target military positions in areas affected by the conflict.

The Yemeni military spokesperson said the operations formed part of ongoing efforts to weaken the Houthis’ military capabilities and prevent the group from reinforcing its positions. The strikes focused on facilities and equipment that the militia allegedly uses to support its operations on the ground.

According to the military, the use of drones, artillery and rocket systems allowed government forces to target several locations simultaneously. The strikes also aimed to disrupt the movement of Houthi fighters and limit their ability to transport weapons and military equipment.

The Yemeni government forces said they would continue operations against Houthi positions as part of their efforts to regain control of areas held by the militia. The latest footage was released as the conflict continues to pose a major security challenge in Yemen.
