Yemeni Army Says It Killed 260 Houthis in Taiz and Lahj Offensives
Government forces said they killed 1,150 Houthi fighters in nearly 2,000 targeting operations as the offensive expanded across several fronts.
- On Sunday, the Presidential Leadership Council announced the 'Dawn of Yemen' operation, reporting 2,103 precision targeting operations against Houthi positions and claiming to have neutralized 1,860 fighters.
- The campaign aims to retake territory including Sanaa, which the Houthi group has controlled since 2014, while forces advance on strategic areas near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait vital for global maritime trade.
- Government reports on casualty figures vary significantly, with claims ranging from 1,150 to 1,860 deaths, though Al Jazeera could not independently verify these figures. The Saudi-led coalition separately reported destroying 82 Houthi military targets, including ballistic missile storage sites in Saada.
- Attacks on King Khalid International Airport and Abha International Airport killed three people, prompting President Donald Trump to tell reporters at the White House he 'will make a decision soon' on potential U.S. involvement.
- With no active mediation to cool the situation, experts warn the violence will continue escalating. The Houthis have threatened to target Pakistan-flagged vessels and launch ballistic missiles, warning aviation companies to avoid Saudi airspace.
