Yemeni army targets Houthi positions with three airstrikes south of Taiz

The Yemeni army has conducted three airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in the al-Misrakh district, located south of Taiz, according to reports from Ajel English and Middle East Eye.

Middle East Eye reports that the government-held city of Taiz is currently under an ongoing Houthi siege. This blockade has caused a humanitarian crisis by blocking vital supplies such as fuel through road closures. The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen, Laurent Bukera, has warned that the city's health system is near collapse. Additionally, the UN World Food Programme stated that conflict has prevented lifesaving assistance from reaching 800,000 people, including 600,000 aid recipients in the city.

Houthi media reports claim that at least 15 people, mostly women and children, were killed and approximately 30 others were wounded during a series of Saudi strikes in the al-Shariyah area of the Bani Hashish district.
