Brigadier General Majid Abdullah Al-Nuzaili, a spokesperson for the Yemeni government military, announced that government forces executed 97 'precision targeting operations' against Houthi positions on the Al-Tawwahi front. According to the military statement, these operations utilized a combination of drone strikes, aircraft, artillery, missile fire, and sniper activity.

The government claims that these engagements successfully neutralized 260 Houthi fighters. Additionally, the military reported the destruction or damage of several Houthi military vehicles, as well as transport and supply logistics equipment. These operations were reportedly concentrated in the Lahij and Taiz provinces.

Because this report relies exclusively on statements provided by the Yemeni government military spokesperson, there is no independent verification of the casualty figures or the extent of the equipment damage. The Houthi movement has not yet issued a public response to these specific claims, and no third-party observers have confirmed the details of the operations on the Al-Tawwahi front.
