Yemeni military sources announced on Friday that more than 80 people were killed in air strikes and violent clashes in Taiz province between Yemeni government forces and Houthi fighters, in one of the most notable recent escalations in the province.
The sources said, in remarks to Sky News Arabia, that the toll could rise as casualty counts continue in the clash areas, without specifying the breakdown of deaths between the two sides or the current state of the front lines.
Taiz province is among the Yemeni areas that have seen repeated clashes between government forces and the Houthis for years, with the internationally recognized Yemeni government holding large parts of the province while the Houthi movement controls other surrounding areas.
The Houthi movement has not yet issued any official comment on this toll or on the developments on the ground cited by the Yemeni military sources.
