The Yemeni army has reported downing a number of Houthi drones over the southern city of Aden, while also announcing strikes on targets in the Houthi-controlled areas of Sanaa, Saada and Taiz.
According to military officials, the Taiz Military Axis reported intense clashes on the northern front of the city of Taiz, an area that has remained one of the most active front lines in the ongoing conflict between Yemeni government forces and Houthi fighters.
The reported operations reflect the continuing military activity between the two sides, with government forces describing their actions as part of ongoing efforts to counter Houthi military capabilities, including drone operations that have been used by the group in previous confrontations.
Details regarding casualties or the precise scale of the strikes on Sanaa, Saada and Taiz have not been independently verified. The Houthi side has not issued an immediate public response to the Yemeni army's claims regarding the downed drones or the reported strikes.
The latest reported clashes add to a long pattern of intermittent fighting across multiple fronts in Yemen, where a durable ceasefire has remained elusive despite periodic efforts at de-escalation between the warring parties.
