Yemen's army said its forces killed 700 Houthi fighters during 257 military operations carried out across the country, according to a statement from a military spokesman reported by Anadolu Agency.
The spokesman said the operations also resulted in the destruction of 170 combat vehicles and other military assets belonging to the Houthi movement.
The figures were presented by the army as part of an official accounting of recent operations against Houthi forces, though they represent the military's own tally and have not been independently verified by outside observers.
Yemen has been gripped by years of conflict between the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of the country's north, and the internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led coalition. Casualty figures reported by parties to the conflict have frequently diverged from independent assessments, underscoring the difficulty of confirming battlefield claims in the ongoing war.
