On Wednesday, the Yemeni warplanes targeted reinforcements and gatherings of the Houthis in Marib Governorate, as part of ongoing military operations that have been taking place on the fronts of the governorate in recent weeks.

A correspondent for "Al Arabiya" reported that the Yemeni warplanes targeted reinforcements for the Houthis in the Al-Jawbah district, south of Marib.

The air force also launched strikes on Houthi gatherings along the contact lines in the southern part of the governorate, while information about the casualties resulting from the operations was not immediately available.

These strikes come days after military operations targeted Houthi positions in the same area. On September 26, Yemeni forces targeted gatherings and weapon depots of the Houthis in the Al-Jawbah district, coinciding with a drone strike that targeted a vehicle loaded with weapons on the Al-Kasara front, northwest of Marib, according to a correspondent for "Al Arabiya/Al Hadath."

Marib witnessed an escalation in confrontations on the southern, western, and northern fronts during September, amid mutual shelling and the use of drones to target military sites and movements.

On September 19, military sources reported that Yemeni forces engaged in battles with the Houthis on the Al-Mashajih front west of Marib, while airstrikes targeted reinforcements and gatherings at the Am Rish and the former 26th Brigade camps in the Al-Jawbah district, in addition to the Mal'aa Pass in Harib to the south of the governorate. The sources also mentioned at the time that attempts to infiltrate in Wadi Dhanna and Al-Balq were thwarted.

Recent developments indicate that part of the military operations continues to focus on Al-Jawbah, where field reports during September mentioned that the Houthis were sending military reinforcements to the district from Al-Bayda governorate.

Marib is one of the most prominent battlegrounds between government forces and the Houthis, while the contact lines in the south of the governorate are witnessing mutual military movements and operations.
