Majid Nuzaili, spokesman for the Yemeni government forces, posted on social platforms that day that 97 "precision strikes" were carried out against Houthi armed targets in Taiz and Lahj provinces. 260 Houthi armed personnel were killed and many of the organization's military vehicles and supply vehicles were destroyed.

Saba News Agency, controlled by Yemen's Houthi armed forces, reported on the night of the 3rd that a residential building in Taiz Province was hit by an air strike, resulting in the death and injury of six civilians.

Saba News Agency reported on the 4th that the multinational coalition led by Saudi Arabia continued to launch attacks on Yemen that day, with the main target being the country's capital Sanaa.

Yemen's Houthi armed forces military spokesman Saraya reported on the 3rd that the organization used ballistic missiles and drones to attack Saudi Aramco's oil facilities in the Saudi capital Riyadh that day, "directly hitting" the target and causing a fire.

Saudi Arabia's "Middle East News" reported on the 3rd that Maliki, spokesman for the multinational coalition, said that the Yemeni Houthi armed forces' statement about attacking Riyadh that day was "misleading."

The goal is to reverse the current situation in which the Houthi armed forces have seized control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and gradually regain lost ground.
