Yemen’s army said its forces killed or wounded around 190 Houthi commanders and fighters in air and ground strikes across several fronts over the past several hours, according to Anadolu Agency.
Army spokesman Col. Majed Abdullah al-Nuzaili said the strikes were carried out as part of Operation Dawn of Yemen.
Warplanes conducted 29 airstrikes and drones carried out 39 strikes, while rocket launcher units conducted 62 strikes and field artillery carried out another 744, al-Nuzaili said.
The strikes targeted Houthi positions, reinforcements, fortifications and military equipment, according to the army statement.
Preliminary field reports indicated that around 130 Houthi vehicles and pieces of military equipment were destroyed or damaged, al-Nuzaili said.
He said fighting continued on northern fronts and in Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Bayda and Taiz, as well as on southern and southwestern fronts. Government forces recaptured several positions in some sectors of the southern and southwestern fronts, while clashes continued elsewhere, he added.
Houthis claim attacks on Saudi targets
Separately, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group had carried out four operations using ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi targets and troop concentrations in Yemen.
He claimed the targets included King Khalid International Airport, East-West pipeline pumping stations and a financial center in Riyadh, Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, and troop concentrations in Yemen’s Al-Mudarabah and Ras al-Arah districts.
The group claimed the attacks caused damage and casualties.
Operation Dawn of Yemen was launched on Oct. 5.
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and other parts of the country. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in March 2015 in support of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, triggering years of fighting and a severe humanitarian crisis.
