The Yemeni Army announced on Tuesday that it carried out 874 aerial and artillery targeting operations against the positions and capabilities of Houthi militias across various fronts during the past 24 hours, as part of the “Fajr al-Yemen” military operation, which has now entered its second month.
Colonel Majid al-Nazili, the official spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated in a press release that the air force conducted 29 airstrikes, while drone operations carried out 39 targeting strikes against Houthi militia positions, concentrations, fortifications, and combat vehicles.
He added that multiple rocket launcher units executed 62 targeting operations, while field artillery carried out 744 operations targeting the militias’ positions, concentrations, reinforcements, fortifications, firing sources, and combat assets.
He noted that initial field reports indicate approximately 190 Houthi militia leaders and fighters were killed or wounded, along with the destruction and damage of around 130 military vehicles and combat assets, and damage inflicted on their positions and fortifications.
Al-Nazili confirmed that “Emergency Forces,” “National Shield” units, and the Sixth, Third, and Seventh Military Regions continued their combat missions on the northern fronts in the governorates of Al-Jawf and Marib, repelling militia movements, thwarting their attempts, and targeting their positions and concentrations.
He explained that “Shabwa Defense” forces and military axes stationed on the Al-Bayda fronts continued their combat duties, while the Armed Forces, supported by popular resistance in Taiz, countered militia attacks and targeted their movements and positions.
He pointed out that “National Shield” units, “Giants Brigades,” and “National Resistance” continued their operations on the southern and southwestern fronts, successfully recapturing several positions in certain sectors, while clashes and engagements with militia movements continued in other areas.
The military spokesperson emphasized the Armed Forces’ continued commitment to fulfilling their national duty and achieving the objectives of the “Fajr al-Yemen” operation, while taking necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian property.
