The Yemeni government forces stated that they have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi armed military targets in the past three days.

Houthi armed military spokesman Yahya Saraya issued a statement on the same day, saying that F-15 fighter jets took off from Saudi Arabia's Khamis Mushayt Air Force Base, and the air strikes targeted the five provinces of Taiz, Jawf, Marib, Zamar and Saada in Yemen, causing casualties. The statement stated that since the escalation of this round of conflicts, Saudi Arabia has launched 1,085 air strikes and missile attacks.
