Translated Text:

Over the past 24 hours, our armed forces have carried out 474 airstrikes and precision targeting operations against sites, movements, reinforcements, and military capabilities belonging to the terrorist Houthi militia, using warplanes, drones, artillery, missiles, and rocket launchers.

The operations covered various combat fronts, from south of Haradh and the coast and Kattaf, through the fronts of Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Bayda, Lahij, Sana'a, and Saada, with intensive operational focus on the Taiz fronts, where threat sources, gatherings, reinforcements, command and control centers, and hostile military capabilities were targeted, in accordance with approved operational tasks and plans.

The operations resulted in neutralizing 1,540 militia elements between killed and wounded, most of them on the Taiz fronts, and the destruction and disabling of 216 military vehicles and capabilities.

These operations led to breaking the militia on the Taiz fronts and thwarting their attempts to achieve any field breakthrough.

Our armed forces continue their operations with efficiency and capability, based on high combat resolve, field steadfastness, and firm faith in their right to restore the state and protect Yemen's security and sovereignty.

Yemeni forces are putting significant pressure on the Houthis in Taiz

I drew for you a map of Yemen before and after:

Bright and light green / Yemeni forces: 84%
Bright and light red / Houthis: 14%
Bright purple / Coast: 2%

( Yellow indicates the sites of recent Yemeni forces operations and their advances, with approximate markers for the weak pockets from which the Houthis withdrew )

I drew the coast separately from the rest of the map since it remains unresolved so far and has not officially joined the Houthis' positions; the Houthis' positions are still scattered and unstable

The Yemeni forces are putting significant pressure on the Houthis in Taiz, which prevents the consolidation of the coast and keeps it an exposed area for the Yemeni forces

(The small archipelago near Hodeidah and the Ban Zakar and Mayun islands—no information is available on them so far)

Houthis strike Saudi-led coalition HQ in Adan

🚨 HOUTHIS STRIKE SAUDI-LED COALITION HQ IN ADEN

Houthi forces launched multiple ballistic missiles and drones at the Saudi-led coalition headquarters in Al-Buraiqa, western Aden, early Friday.

At least 5 explosions were reported, with fires visible around the compound.

The attack comes amid the sharpest escalation in Yemen since the 2022 truce, with intense fighting around Taiz. Yemen’s government says its aircraft carried out 20 strikes on Houthi forces Friday, while Saudi Arabia reported intercepting additional Houthi missiles and drones targeting southern Saudi cities.
