Noting that the army units took control of the Houthis' positions in the Um Levlife, Kurun al-Sabir and Duheyda al-Akir regions, Nezili emphasized that the army and popular resistance forces in Taiz province also achieved field gains in various axes, repelling the Houthis' attempts to take back the lost positions, causing them personnel and equipment losses.

Referring to the balance sheet of operations, Nezili stated that the armed forces carried out 1322 targeting operations against the positions and capacities of the militias along the operation lines.

Nezili stated that as a result of these operations, approximately 340 Houthis, including leaders, were neutralized and 114 military vehicles and equipment were destroyed and disabled.

No official statement has yet been made by the Iran-backed Houthis on the issue.

Conflicts and humanitarian situation in Yemen

According to United Nations (UN) reports, the re-escalation of military tension between government forces and the Houthis in July last year led to the death or injury of thousands of people and the displacement of more than a quarter of a million people.

While this escalation disrupts the relative calm that has prevailed in Yemen since April 2022, the humanitarian crisis in the country deepens as conflicts and migration waves continue.

Yemen has been the scene of a fierce war since the Houthis captured the capital Sanaa and many provinces in September 2014.

The conflicts gained an international dimension in March 2015, when the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in support of the internationally recognized government of Yemen.
