Yemeni army launches 133 operations against Houthis in 24 hours

In a single 24-hour period, Yemen's armed forces executed 133 military operations against Houthi positions and assets, officials confirmed. The barrage of strikes targeted sites, personnel, and the group's capabilities, with army units operating along the frontlines. The armed forces detailed the use of rocket launchers, artillery, and drones in these operations, all aimed at neutralizing threats, minimizing Houthi capabilities, and targeting their positions and movements.

Simultaneously, Yemen's Joint Forces deployed footage showcasing extensive drone strikes on Houthi positions and gatherings along the western coast. According to their statement, these strikes resulted in casualties and equipment losses, capturing reconnaissance and aerial surveillance of Houthi movements and vehicles near the confrontation lines.

Subsequently, the Joint Forces reported that drones were deployed to target various pieces of equipment and fortifications, demonstrating coordination between reconnaissance units and strike forces. These operations were announced following Yemen's Ministry of Defense's plans to increase the use of locally produced and imported drones in both air and ground operations, as part of measures to bolster the army's capabilities in combating the Houthis.
