Yemeni Armed Forces Repel Houthi Attacks in Taiz, Inflicting Significant Casualties

The Yemeni Armed Forces have regained operational momentum in Taiz province following a successful defense against multiple infiltration attempts and attacks launched by Houthi militias across several front lines.

A military source confirmed that units from the national army, security forces, and popular resistance engaged in intense clashes within the Ash Shamayatayn, Al Mawasit, and Al Ma'afir districts. These operations successfully neutralized insurgent maneuvers and reinforced government defensive and offensive positions throughout the region.

The confrontations resulted in substantial casualties among Houthi ranks, with reports of numerous fatalities and injuries. The losses were attributed to a combination of well-executed ambushes, precision sniper fire, drone strikes, and targeted aerial bombardment against militia reinforcements and military movements in various sectors.

In response to these developments, the Armed Forces have elevated their combat readiness across all fronts. This strategic adjustment is part of a broader mandate to reclaim territory currently held by the militias and to systematically restrict their military mobility.

Concluding the statement, the military source commended the resilience of the people of Taiz. The official emphasized that the province remains an insurmountable obstacle to the militias, serving as a critical theater for depleting the group’s resources and countering its destabilizing influence on national security.
