Military spokesman Majed al-Nuzaili said the operations targeted Houthi reinforcements and military capabilities, the official Saba news agency. He said the attacks inflicted losses on Houthi fighters and military equipment, without providing figures. There was no immediate comment from the Houthis on the army’s claims.
On Monday, the Defence Ministry said government forces had carried out 356 operations against Houthi targets across 10 fronts, killing or wounding 476 members of the group.
