Yemeni army says it struck Houthi sites in Sanaa, repelled attacks in Taiz

The Yemeni army says it carried out strikes on sites held by Houthi forces in the capital Sanaa and repelled attacks launched by the group in the western province of Taiz, according to Anadolu Agency.

Army sources cited in the report said dozens of Houthi fighters were killed or wounded during the clashes in western Taiz, an area that has seen repeated fighting between pro-government forces and the Houthi movement during Yemen's long-running conflict.

The figures on casualties come from the army side and have not been independently verified. Yemen's conflict, which has continued in various forms for years, has repeatedly produced competing claims from the warring parties about the toll and outcome of individual battles, and figures reported by one side are frequently contested or go unconfirmed by neutral observers.

Taiz has long been one of the most contested fronts in the war, with the city itself partially besieged for extended periods and surrounding districts changing hands amid periodic flare-ups. Sanaa, meanwhile, has remained under Houthi control since the group took the capital, making any reported strikes there part of a continuing pattern of exchanges between the Saudi-backed government side and the Houthi movement.

Anadolu Agency's report did not include a Houthi response to the army's account of the Taiz clashes or the Sanaa strikes. Independent confirmation of the casualty figures and the extent of the strikes was not immediately available.
