Dawn of Yemen: Specific strikes in Sanaa and Hodeidah and confrontations in Taiz

The "Yemen Dawn" operations launched by the Yemeni government last week are still continuing, with confrontations intensifying between the Yemeni forces and the Houthi militias in Marib and Taiz, as well as Lahj and Al-Jawf, in addition to recording air strikes on sites used by the Houthis in Sana'a. During the past twenty-four hours, the fog front west of the city of Taiz witnessed violent confrontations, described as one of the largest battles the region has faced in months. Last week, the head of the Yemeni Presidential Command Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, announced the launch of the military operation "Yemen Dawn", with the aim of restoring state institutions, liberating the capital, Sana'a, and ending the "Houthi militia coup" supported by Iran.

During the past twenty-four hours, the Fog Front, west of the city of Taiz, witnessed violent confrontations between Yemeni forces and the Houthi militias, described as one of the largest battles the region has faced in months, and resulted in deaths and injuries on both sides.

Since last July, Taiz Governorate and other areas in Yemen have witnessed violent confrontations, resulting in the displacement of more than two hundred thousand people, according to UN data.

Meanwhile, the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced the implementation of a qualitative military operation to dry up the vital sources used by the terrorist Houthi militia to fuel its war effort, including sites for storing, transporting and unloading fuel in Sanaa, Hodeidah and Dhamar.

He also pointed out the interception of four cruise missiles and three drones over Riyadh and the southern region, and the destruction of two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militias towards the eastern region.

Yesterday, the coalition confirmed targeting the oil company in Sanaa, which it had previously warned civilians to stay away from, and facilities used to transport fuel in the Saada and Dhamar governorates in western Yemen.

For his part, US President Donald Trump accused the Houthis of trying to "raise oil prices" before the US midterm elections.
