Houthi forces claim six attacks on Saudi airports, oil facilities

The announcement comes despite talks between Iran and the Mecca pact countries in Tehran earlier this week.

Yemeni government forces have carried out 982 strikes against Houthi targets in just 24 hours as part of Operation Fajr Al-Yemen, according to an official statement. The strikes targeted Houthi reinforcements, positions, and gatherings, using fighter jets, drones, field artillery, and rocket launchers. The operations aimed to neutralize Houthi leaders and fighters, destroy or disable vehicles and weapons, and disrupt supply routes.

In Taiz province, ongoing clashes with the Houthis resulted in the forces repelling advances and regrouping attempts. Air and artillery support helped maintain their positions. The statement revealed that operations are continuing on the eastern fronts of the capital Sanaa, as well as in the provinces of Al-Jawf, Marib, and Al-Bayda.

Additionally, efforts are being made to target Houthi movements, fortifications, and military gatherings in the southern and southwestern fronts, while clearing mines and explosive devices that pose a threat to civilians.
