Yemeni military operations under the banner "Dawn of Yemen" continued on Thursday, with intensive strikes reported against Houthi sites in Taiz and Marib, according to العربية. The outlet reported that the campaign has involved 835 strikes and that 285 Houthi members and leaders have been "neutralised."
The Yemeni armed forces were cited as saying their recent strikes removed 285 elements and commanders from the Houthi militia. عكاظ reported that the army dismantled Houthi fortifications across 835 operations and killed 285 gunmen, while جريدة الرياض carried the same figures for the Taiz and Marib strikes. صحيفة سبق الإلكترونية described the front lines as seeing 24,000 strikes alongside casualties numbering in the hundreds, without giving further breakdown in the summary.
The reports come from several Arabic-language outlets and give only partial figures, with no independent confirmation available in the material. The term "neutralised" is used by the Yemeni armed forces in their statement and does not specify how many were killed or wounded in each operation.
The campaign's name, "Dawn of Yemen," has been used across the reporting to describe the current wave of operations. Details on timing, locations within Taiz and Marib, and the identity of Houthi commanders affected were not provided in the summaries.
What to watch next: whether the reported operation counts and casualty figures are corroborated by further reporting, and how the Houthis respond to the strikes in Taiz and Marib.
