Yemeni Forces Report New Gains in Taiz, 1,164 Strikes on Houthis
- Saudi-Led forces have launched airstrikes around the Yemeni city of Taiz to break a Houthi siege, marking the new frontline in Yemen's conflict between the internationally recognized government and Houthi fighters.
- Following a September Houthi offensive where rebels captured the port of Mocha and pushed toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, they gained roughly 150 km of coastline, threatening critical maritime shipping routes.
- Opening phase strikes involved 100 fighter aircraft destroying 324 'high-value targets,' according to coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Maliki, while international oil prices surged above $110 following the Mocha seizure.
- Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed personally pressed for the counter-offensive to protect maritime security, though he declined direct United States participation in the operation.
- Dubbing the offensive 'Operation Dawn of Yemen,' Presidential Leadership Council President Rashad al-Alimi announced the goal is to restore state institutions and defeat the Houthi movement.
