Yemen army announces new advance against Houthis in Taiz
The Yemeni army said it had conducted 1,382 operations against the Houthis in recent hours and made a new advance on the ground in Taiz province in the country's southwest. Army spokesman Colonel Majid al-Nazili claimed that around 440 Houthi members and commanders had been neutralized in the operations.
The Yemeni army announced a new advance on the ground against the Houthis in Taiz province in the country's southwest, saying it had conducted 1,382 operations targeting Houthi positions in recent hours.
Colonel Majid al-Nazili, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said offensive operations were continuing as part of the "Dawn of Yemen" operation. Al-Nazili said the targets included field command centers, fortifications, firing positions, troop concentrations, reserve forces, reinforcement units and military supply vehicles.
Al-Nazili said around 440 Houthi leaders and members had been neutralized in the operations. He also claimed that 146 vehicles, military transport vehicles, heavy weapons and combat equipment had been destroyed or rendered unusable.
Coordinated attacks on the Taiz fronts
In Taiz, Yemeni army and Popular Resistance forces carried out coordinated attacks using different tactics with air support. Al-Nazili said the operations had prevented the Houthis from attempting to retake positions they had previously lost and had strengthened fire control over some strategic positions and high ground.
Intense clashes have been ongoing for weeks between the Yemeni army and the Houthis in Taiz province. The statement said hundreds of people on both sides had been killed or wounded in the fighting.
Al-Nazili said army forces had thwarted Houthi infiltration attempts on the Bab al-Mandab, Zubab and al-Mudareba fronts and had targeted reinforcement units and military vehicles.
Operations also continue on the Sana'a fronts
The Yemeni army is also continuing offensive operations on the northern, northwestern and eastern fronts of Sana'a. The operations, supported by armored vehicles, artillery units and unmanned aerial vehicles, targeted Houthi activity as well as command centers, weapons positions, depots and fortifications.
Al-Nazili argued that the operations had limited the Houthis' ability to maneuver between fronts and transfer reinforcements. The army spokesman said simultaneous military activity was continuing on all fronts and that necessary measures had been taken to protect civilians and civilian facilities.
The Houthis have not yet commented on the operations announced by the Yemeni army or their results.
Military tensions rise again in Yemen
Military tensions in Yemen have increased since July 2026. The escalation was described as the broadest surge since the relatively calm period that followed the ceasefire that began in April 2022.
The "Dawn of Yemen" military operation has continued since October 5. Rashad al-Alimi, chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, had said the operation aimed to retake state institutions from the Houthis and establish control over the capital, Sana'a.
The war in Yemen began after the Houthis seized control of the capital, Sana'a, and several provinces in September 2014. In March 2015, the Saudi-led Arab coalition also intervened to support Yemen's internationally recognized government.
