Yemeni Forces Press Houthi Positions Across Taiz With Strikes
Yemeni government forces carried out air and artillery strikes on Houthi positions, gatherings, and reinforcements across Taiz province, according to military sources and state media. The strikes hit areas east of Taiz city, Mawiyah Junction, the Al-Akboush front, and a convoy on 60th Street, while forces said they stopped infiltration attempts. No major territorial change was reported, and casualty figures could not be independently verified.
Government forces broadened their campaign beyond front-line clashes, striking supply routes, assembly areas, camps and weapons storage in Taiz and nearby Ibb. Targets included junctions east of the city, Al-Hawban, 60th Street, Hayfan and Al-Wazi’iyah, while drones and artillery supported ground units.
The Taiz Military Axis reported stopping an infiltration effort at Al-Ahtoub and engaging fighters near Hazran. The Southern Giants Brigades said they hit gatherings and vehicles at Kahbub, destroying an armored vehicle. No significant shift in territorial control was reported, and casualty claims remained unverified.
Escalating strikes and ground clashes could deepen insecurity for civilians in Taiz and nearby areas, disrupting movement and access to services while exposing communities near front lines to ongoing danger. Families of fighters on both sides may face uncertainty as casualty reports remain unverified. The focus on supply routes and reinforcements may also prolong instability, affecting local livelihoods and shaping how residents perceive safety and the wider conflict.
