The Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced that it carried out 35 operations against the Houthi militia on the fronts of Marib and Hajjah.

In a tweet carried out by Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Coalition explained that the operations resulted in the destruction of 22 military vehicles and inflicted causalities among Houthis.

Yemeni sources estimated the strikes killed and injured dozens of Houthi militants.

The Yemeni military media reported that the forces, backed by the popular resistance, thwarted a Houthi attack on several military sites south of the Marib governorate.

The media center of the Yemeni armed forces quoted a military source as saying that the Houthi militia fled the area after many of its members were killed or wounded.

The military source indicated that the Yemeni armed forces recovered two vehicles with their equipment left by the militia members, while Coalition fighters targeted militia reinforcements, destroying their vehicles and killing militants on board.

Meanwhile, Yemeni media reported that eight Houthi members were killed and others injured in clashes with the National Army forces north of Taiz city.

Saba news agency quoted a military source as saying that the National Army forces attacked militia sites, killing eight militants, including a sniper, in the Kabab Building on al-Arbaeen Street.

The coalition air force also targeted Houthi sites in the al-Madradat Ghorab area, west of the city.
