Saudi-led coalition airstrikes target telecommunications infrastructure in Yemen's Taiz province
Warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition have reportedly struck three telecommunications towers in Yemen's Taiz province. The strikes occurred in the al-Taiziyah and Khadir districts, according to local reports.
Reports from Yemen indicate that the Saudi-led coalition conducted airstrikes targeting telecommunications infrastructure in Taiz province. According to information broadcast by the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV channel, three specific towers were hit during the operation.
The targeted infrastructure is located in the al-Dhukra and al-Houban areas within the al-Taiziyah district, as well as in the al-Rahidah area of the Khadir district. These strikes represent a continuation of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where telecommunications facilities have frequently become points of contention between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi forces.
While the reports confirm the location and nature of the strikes, there is currently no official statement from the Saudi-led coalition confirming the operation or providing a justification for targeting these specific sites. Similarly, there is limited information regarding the immediate impact of these strikes on local civilian communication networks or the operational status of the towers following the attacks. As the information originates primarily from Houthi-affiliated media, independent verification of the extent of the damage remains pending.
