Text: War in Yemen #SITREP | Yemeni government forces reported fresh clashes with Houthi fighters across the western and southern Marib fronts, with artillery units targeting Houthi military vehicles in western Marib and multiple-launch rocket systems destroying Houthi artillery positions in the south. Artillery units from the Bayhan Military Axis also struck Houthi troop concentrations, reportedly killing and wounding several fighters and disabling a 23mm anti-aircraft gun. Major General Mansour bin Abdullah Thawaba, commander of the Third Military Region, said government forces had shifted from defensive to offensive operations, declaring that Marib was now advancing with its sights set on Sana'a. He reaffirmed that military operations would continue until Houthi-controlled territory was retaken and state institutions restored. Thawaba also reported that government forces had repelled recent Houthi assaults on military positions south of Marib, inflicting heavy personnel and equipment losses, with dozens of Houthi fighters reportedly killed, wounded or captured. He said government forces across Marib and other fronts were operating under a unified command and joint operations room, highlighting coordination between ground and air units and continued military cooperation with the Saudi-led coalition.
