Dozens of members of the Iran-aligned Houthi militia have been killed, and others wounded, due to widespread confrontations with government forces and resistance supported by Arab coalition fighters in several Yemeni provinces. Military sources in Marib province, northeastern Yemen, reported that more than 50 Houthi militants were killed and others injured on the Al-Abdiyah front south of the province, as well as in Al-Mashjah and Al-Kasara to the west. They indicated that government artillery had destroyed 8 Houthi vehicles.
Additionally, government forces executed a well-planned ambush on Houthi groups in the Khanzir front in Al-Jawf province, resulting in numerous Houthi deaths and injuries, while the remaining militants fled. In Shabwa province, southeastern Yemen, government forces announced causing dozens of casualties among the Iranian-backed Houthi militia in the Bayhan and Al-Ain fronts, and they were able to destroy 7 Houthi vehicles before withdrawing from their positions to regroup and concentrate their forces, coinciding with the arrival of significant reinforcements to support them, amid a heightened state of alert among tribes to prevent the militia's advance.
In this context, Houthi losses in lives and equipment have doubled in the provinces of Marib, Al-Bayda, and Saada due to air strikes by coalition fighters targeting Houthi vehicles, gatherings, and positions. In Al-Hudaydah, northwestern Yemen, joint forces reported shooting down a bomb-laden drone belonging to the Houthis west of Hays district, southern the province.
To the south, at the borders of Al-Dhale and Lahij provinces in the north and northwestern areas, confrontations erupted, accompanied by artillery shelling from southern forces and resistance targeting Houthi gatherings, resulting in casualties among the militia, alongside responding to a Houthi attack in Al-Muqbana district in Taiz, southwestern Yemen.
