Yemen Armed Forces Spokesperson Majid Abdullah al-Nezili stated in his statement that 1122 "precision attacks" were carried out against the Houthis, targeting artillery positions and rocket launchers as well as defensive fortifications.

Stating that the Houthis' supply lines and vehicles, as well as their reinforcements, military build-ups, management units and command and control centers were targeted, Nezili stated that warplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), artillery units, missiles, multi-barreled rocket launchers and snipers were used in the attacks carried out on Sada and Cevf in the north and Taiz and coastal fronts in the west.

Nezili noted that according to the results of the attack, 1,747 people from the Houthis were killed or injured, and 364 vehicles, military equipment, and military transportation and supply vehicles were destroyed or rendered unusable.

The Houthis have not yet made a statement regarding Nezili's latest statement.

While Nezili did not give information about the time period in which the attacks were carried out, he announced in his statement yesterday morning that 260 Houthi elements were killed or injured in 97 operations, and 44 vehicles and military transport and supply vehicles were destroyed or rendered unusable.

President of the Yemeni Presidential Council Rashad Muhammad al-Alimi stated in his video broadcast on state television yesterday that they launched comprehensive military operations to take back the lands held by the Houthis and establish state sovereignty throughout the country.

Civil war began in Yemen after the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014. The Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in the country in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government.

The conflict, which started in July, became one of the largest-scale conflicts after the relative calm provided by the ceasefire that started in April 2022.

As the conflict intensified in September, the Houthis took control of some important regions in Hodeidah and Taiz provinces, including the strategically important city of Al-Maha (Moha), and advanced as far as Meyyun Island overlooking the Babulmandeb Strait.

Open Questions

  • During what time period were the attacks carried out?
  • What will the Houthis' response to the losses be?
