The Yemeni Army announced on Saturday the execution of 723 airstrikes and targeting operations against Houthi militia positions and capabilities across various fronts as part of Operation “Yemen’s Dawn,” which resulted in neutralizing 321 of its leaders and fighters, and destroying or damaging 117 military vehicles and equipment.
In a statement, Colonel Majid Al-Nazili, official spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said that operations over the past hours included 37 combat aircraft strikes, 56 drone targeting operations, 89 rocket launcher attacks, and 541 field artillery strikes. These targeted militia positions, concentrations, fortifications, firing positions, vehicles, and combat means.
Al-Nazili noted that initial field assessments indicate the neutralization of approximately 321 militia leaders and fighters, killed or wounded, and the destruction or damage of around 117 vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for military purposes.
He stated that the Armed Forces, supported by popular resistance in Taiz Governorate, are engaging Houthi militia fighters and targeting their military capabilities, while taking care to spare civilians and civilian property from the effects of operations and restricting targeting to legitimate military objectives.
He added that military units on the fronts of Marib and Al-Jawf Governorates continue to repel Houthi militia attacks and target their positions, concentrations, and combat means, while forces on other fronts continue to address Houthi threats and fire sources.
Al-Nazili pointed out that forces of the Fourth Military Region, “National Shield,” “Giants Brigades,” and “National Resistance” continue to respond to Houthi militia movements on the southern and southwestern fronts, while ensuring the protection of civilians and taking necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of clashes on civilian areas.
He affirmed that the Armed Forces are proceeding with their national duty and achieving the objectives of Operation “Yemen’s Dawn” to protect the people and their assets, avert the threat of militias from Yemen, and safeguard navigation security in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and global trade routes, emphasizing adherence to international law, particularly international humanitarian law and its customary rules, and taking necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian property.
