The Harib front in the southern Marib governorate is witnessing sporadic clashes and artillery exchange between the Giants Brigades forces on one side and the Houthi militias on the other. The Giants Brigades are tightening a siege on remnants of the Houthi militias in certain areas of Harib. At the same time, the Houthi militias are using civilians as human shields to impede the advance of the Giants forces.
In a related context, clashes are occurring on the Nauman front in the eastern Al-Bayda governorate, while reinforcements coming from Al-Bayda to the Harib front in southern Marib are being obstructed. Additionally, coalition fighter jets have launched a series of strikes on the militias' reinforcements and assembly centers in the Al-Malajim, Al-Sawadiyah, and Nati areas in Al-Bayda, which the Houthi militias use as supply centers and launch pads for rocket fire.
### Downing of 8 Drones
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced the commencement of airstrikes in Sana'a after downing 8 drones launched toward Saudi Arabia, following a terrorist attack on civilian facilities in the UAE. The coalition indicated that the strikes targeted terrorist leaders north of the capital, Sana'a, and that the attacking "F-15" aircraft destroyed two launch platforms for ballistic missiles used that day.
### Avoiding Houthi Camps and Gatherings
The coalition stated that its air forces conduct aerial operations around the clock over the capital, Sana'a, and urged residents to avoid Houthi militia camps and gatherings for their safety. The coalition spokesman, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, emphasized that the Houthis' deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian objects, as well as economic facilities in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, constitutes war crimes and a threat to regional and international security.
Al-Maliki elaborated that the despicable attack against the UAE is a cowardly act of aggression and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and its customary rules. He stressed that the coalition will take the necessary operational measures to deter these hostile behaviors by the Houthi militias.
