Yemen's internationally recognized government forces reported carrying out 1,417 strikes against Houthi forces in a single day, resulting in the deaths or injuries of approximately 800 fighters. Official spokesperson Majed Abdullah al-Nuzaili disclosed the devastating impact of the strikes, which destroyed or disabled over 190 armored vehicles and supply assets.

In response, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree accused the Saudi-led coalition of conducting 53 air strikes over the past 24 hours, causing significant civilian casualties. Saree claimed that the coalition's warplanes targeted civilian areas in several provinces, including the capital Sanaa, Taiz, Ibb, Lahj, Saada, and Amran.
