Coalition releases footage of mass Houthi retreat in Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen has released footage showing Houthi militants fleeing positions as Yemeni forces advanced in Bab Al-Mandab with air support. According to the coalition, a large-scale military operation was launched against the Houthis, destroying 136 military targets in areas under the group's control.

The operation, which is part of an intensified campaign supporting Yemeni government forces, targeted Houthi fighters and military capabilities. The coalition is providing round-the-clock air support to Yemeni government forces across multiple battlefronts and working to dismantle and destroy the Houthis' ballistic missile network.

Earlier, Yemeni government forces conducted over 2,750 strikes against Houthi positions in 24 hours, neutralizing over 1,400 Houthi fighters and destroying or damaging over 250 military vehicles and pieces of equipment, according to Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Majed Abdullah Al-Nadhib. The conflict between the Houthis and Yemen's internationally recognised government has reignited, spilling over into neighbouring Saudi Arabia, with attacks on transport hubs, oil facilities, and civilian targets.
