Yemeni Government Reports Military Gains and Requests International Support Against Houthis
Yemeni government forces have reported conducting over 1,100 military operations against Houthi positions, resulting in significant reported casualties. Simultaneously, the Yemeni foreign minister has formally requested international assistance to stabilize the country and counter the Houthi movement.
Yemeni government-aligned forces recently announced that they have carried out 1,122 separate attacks against Houthi targets. According to spokesperson Majid Abdullah Al-Nuzaili, these operations—which utilized a combination of warplanes, drones, missiles, artillery, and snipers—took place across several regions, including Saada, al-Jawf, Taiz, and the Yemeni coast. The government claims these strikes resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,747 Houthi fighters and the destruction of 364 military vehicles and supply assets.
In a parallel development, Yemen’s foreign minister has issued a formal appeal to the international community for increased support. The minister argued that stabilizing Yemen is in the global interest and urged allies to bolster national institutions. The government characterized the Houthi movement as a "terrorist militia" that maintains control through force and undermines the welfare of the Yemeni population.
While the government has provided these specific figures regarding military operations and casualties, the Houthi movement has not yet issued a public response or verification of these claims. The reports highlight an escalation in both military activity and diplomatic efforts by the internationally recognized government to regain control and secure external backing for their campaign.
