Yemen’s government forces said they had neutralized around 620 Houthi members and destroyed or damaged approximately 190 military vehicles and weapons systems during operations over the past 24 hours, Anadolu Agency reported.

Military spokesman Majed Abdullah al-Nuzayli said in a statement posted on “X” that government forces had conducted 1,392 targeting operations as part of the ongoing “Operation Dawn of Yemen.”

He said the operations coincided with ground raids, assaults, airstrikes and concentrated fire across several battlefronts.

According to al-Nuzayli, the attacks targeted Houthi troop concentrations, reinforcements, field commanders, fortifications, trenches, armoured vehicles, troop carriers and positions holding heavy and medium weapons.

He said the operations disrupted the group’s command structure, supply lines and ability to move reinforcements between fronts.

In the southwestern province of Taiz, government forces carried out raids and counterattacks against Houthi positions and advanced along the Al-Aqroud front, al-Nuzayli said.

He added that government troops had prevented Houthi members from regrouping or retaking positions they had lost, while operations continued on other fronts.

Preliminary field assessments indicated that about 620 Houthi members, including field commanders, had been neutralized, the spokesman said. He added that around 190 vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, troop transports and heavy and medium weapons systems had been destroyed or damaged.

The figures could not be independently verified.

Al-Nuzayli said the continued deployment of Houthi reinforcements would not change the course of the fighting, adding that government forces were monitoring the group’s movements and military capabilities.

He also reaffirmed the military’s commitment to international humanitarian law and to taking necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
