Yemen Reports 780 Military Strikes Against Houthi Militia in 24 Hours

Yemen’s armed forces have reported carrying out 780 air and military attacks against the Houthi militia over a 24-hour period, claiming that 512 fighters were killed or wounded and more than 330 military and transport vehicles were destroyed or damaged.

The figures were provided by Yemeni military spokesperson Colonel Majed al-Nazili. The reported operations targeted field commanders, concentrations of fighters, reinforcements, heavy weapons positions, fortified locations, vehicles and supply routes.

In a statement posted on X, al-Nazili described intensified operations across several fronts, including Al Jawf, western Marib and Al Bayda. The military account also referred to activity on northern, southern and western fronts, where government forces were seeking to disrupt the Houthi militia’s movement and supply arrangements.

The spokesperson said the operations had affected the militia’s ability to move personnel and deliver reinforcements to front-line positions. The reported targeting of transport vehicles and supply routes formed part of the wider campaign described by the Yemeni military.

Reinforcements and heavy weapons moving towards the Taiz front were also reportedly targeted. The statement presented these attacks as an effort to limit the militia’s capacity to strengthen its positions and sustain operations in contested areas.

The reported scale of the campaign indicates an intensive period of military activity. However, the figures for casualties and damaged vehicles come from the Yemeni armed forces’ account and have not been independently verified in the supplied material. No separate assessment of the reported losses was provided.

The military statement also warned that authorities would continue monitoring Houthi militia movements and respond to attempts to recover losses or advance again. It indicated that further operations would focus on preventing the group from rebuilding its capacity along the affected fronts.

The developments reflect the continuing confrontation between Yemeni government forces and the Houthi militia. Control of supply routes, access to reinforcements and the deployment of heavy weapons can influence the ability of armed groups to maintain positions and conduct operations.

The information available does not provide a detailed breakdown of the 780 reported attacks, including how many were airstrikes compared with other military actions. It also does not identify the precise locations of every strike or provide an independent account of the damage.

For now, the Yemeni armed forces’ announcement centres on the scale of the reported operations and their stated objective of restricting Houthi militia movements. The extent of the reported casualties and equipment losses remains subject to independent confirmation.
