The Saudi-backed Yemeni government military announced on Wednesday that it executed 835 targeted operations against Houthi forces over the preceding 24 hours. According to military spokesperson Majid al-Nuzaili, the offensive utilized a combination of air strikes, drone attacks, and artillery fire to target Houthi reinforcements and armored vehicles.

Government officials stated that these operations were primarily aimed at stopping a Houthi advance on the frontlines within the Taiz governorate. Al-Nuzaili reported that the strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 285 Houthi fighters and leaders, while also causing significant damage to the group's military equipment.

Because the report relies exclusively on statements provided by the Yemeni government’s military spokesperson, there is no independent verification of the casualty figures or the scale of the operations. The Houthi movement has not yet issued a public response to these specific claims regarding the intensity of the strikes or the reported loss of personnel. The situation in Taiz remains a focal point of the ongoing conflict, with both sides frequently reporting tactical maneuvers and engagements in the region.
