The Yemeni military has escalated its offensive against Houthi militants in Marib province, with popular resistance providing crucial support. The intensified combat operations have caused significant casualties among the Houthi forces, both in personnel and equipment. According to a statement from the Yemeni armed forces media center, units in the northern sector, covering the sixth and seventh military regions, launched offensive actions against Houthi strongholds, defenses, and capabilities along the battle lines. These operations were bolstered by artillery and drone strikes.

On the southern front, located within the third military region, Yemeni forces engaged in intense clashes with the militants, successfully thwarting their advances. The Yemeni armed forces' artillery and rocket units directly targeted Houthi gatherings and fortifications, resulting in the destruction and incapacitation of various weapons, artillery pieces, and rocket launchers belonging to the militia.
