The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Sunday that their warplanes conducted three airstrikes targeting Houthi militia positions and camps in the Al-Sawda Hill and Jabal Al-Manam in the Al-Dhabab Front of Taiz.
New footage was released by the Yemeni Armed Forces showing the airstrikes hitting Houthi elements and equipment in the Al-Mokha and Dhubab areas along the western coast.
The Armed Forces initiated Operation 'Killing Box' on Friday, urging civilians to avoid certain roads in the area. Additionally, they confirmed conducting more than twenty airstrikes against Houthi militia sites.
The Yemeni Armed Forces stated that the airstrikes targeted gatherings, vehicles, missile launch platforms, and communication systems belonging to the militia in the districts of Al-Zahir, Dhai Na'aim, Al-Suwadia, and Mukayras in Al-Bayda Governorate.
The Armed Forces' statement reported significant losses inflicted on Houthi personnel and equipment.
The military's airstrikes also targeted Houthi gatherings and convoys in Dhubab and the western coast.
The Yemeni Cabinet, headed by Shaia Al-Zandani, discussed the ramifications of the Houthi escalation.
Al-Zandani described the Houthi escalation as extensive and dangerous, extending beyond Yemen, and aligning with Iranian agendas using Yemen's strategic position to threaten regional and international navigation security.
He emphasized that difficult field developments should not be perceived as the end or decisive conclusion of the confrontation.
The United Nations reported that at least 76,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since July, noting the acceleration of displacement due to intensified fighting between Houthis and government forces.
The International Organization for Migration warned of a rapidly escalating displacement crisis in Yemen, evolving by the hour, with a quarter of the displaced forced to leave in the past week alone amid Houthi attacks.
In Djibouti, authorities reported that about 1,400 people have fled from Yemen in the last 24 hours amid the Houthi escalation.
The Humanitarian Response Coordinator at the International Organization for Migration stated that among the arrivals are women and children and told AFP that the displaced reached Obock in northern Djibouti, expecting more arrivals in the coming days.
Moreover, Yemen's Foreign Minister Afra Zuboua urged the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, to take urgent action concerning the humanitarian implications of the Houthi escalation.
In her message to Turk, the minister highlighted that Houthi aggression has exacerbated humanitarian conditions and waves of displacement.
She warned that the threat extending to Bab al-Mandeb exacerbates risks to civilians, international navigation, and supply chains.
The Yemeni Foreign Minister reiterated her call for the Human Rights Council and the High Commission to condemn Houthi violations and enforce pressure to halt them.
