Yemen’s government forces reported that hundreds of strikes have killed at least 700 Houthi rebels in recent clashes around Taiz. The military said the attacks targeted enemy positions, contributing to the ongoing escalation of violence in the region. The conflict has intensified in Taiz, a city that has seen frequent clashes between government forces and Houthi militias.
Fighting has displaced thousands of civilians, with families seeking shelter in Taiz and Aden. Reports indicate that many have been forced to leave their homes due to the increasing intensity of hostilities. The situation has worsened as both sides continue to exchange fire, with government forces claiming significant casualties among Houthi fighters.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for years, with the Houthis, backed by Iran, fighting against the government supported by a Saudi-led coalition. The war has caused widespread humanitarian crises, with millions of people in need of aid. Recent clashes in Taiz highlight the continued volatility of the situation, as both sides remain entrenched in their positions. The international community has called for a de-escalation, but no major breakthroughs have been reported.
