He also mentioned that a strike by the Yemeni warplanes targeted a Houthi missile platform west of Al-Jawf.

The Yemeni armed forces announced the execution of 257 precise and targeted operations against Houthi militia positions and movements.

The military operations resulted in neutralizing at least 700 elements of the militias during the recent strikes.

The official Yemeni news agency reported a military source stating that the armed forces and the popular resistance from the people of Samah district managed to control the strategic Mount Al-Ja'sha, after tightening their control over Mount Husn Samah, amid significant human and material losses within the terrorist Houthi militia, which included the killing and injury of dozens of its members.

The source indicated that confrontations are still ongoing, coinciding with the armed forces launching counterattacks in the fronts of Jabal Habashi, Al-Kadah, and Al-Shamayatain, and liberating the areas of Al-Maqarima and Al-Zuqaira, which witnessed fierce confrontations that resulted in the defeat of the militias and heavy losses for them.

On Saturday, violent battles continued between the government forces and the popular resistance on one side, and the Houthi militia on the other, across several fronts in Taiz governorate, coinciding with airstrikes targeting militia positions, movements, and reinforcements.

The media center of the Taiz military axis clarified that the violent battles continued for the third consecutive day in several fronts of the Taiz axis, focusing on Al-Kadah and Bani Bakari in the Jabal Habashi district, and the Samah front in the south of the governorate and Jabal Han in Al-Dhabab, confirming that the armed forces made progress in Samah and repelled a fierce Houthi attack in Al-Dhabab.

According to the center, the armed forces, supported by popular resistance, have made field progress on the Samah front and managed to regain control of Mount Al-Husn after violent clashes with the Houthi militia.

On the Al-Dabab front west of the city of Taiz, government forces repelled a violent attack launched by the Houthi militia on Mount Han and Hadran, forcing the militia to retreat after intense confrontations and inflicting heavy losses on them.

Other fronts also witnessed sporadic clashes and artillery shelling, during which government forces targeted militia gatherings, vehicles, and weapons in Mount Ghurab and Hill Al-Qarn west of the city, as well as targeting a militia tank on the northern front and shelling Houthi gatherings in the Central Security camp on the eastern front.

The media center for the Taiz axis indicated that government forces thwarted, on Saturday evening, two infiltration attempts carried out by the Houthi militia on the Al-Anin front in the Jabal Habashi district and the Mount Han front west of Taiz, forcing them to retreat. It noted that the confrontations resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens of Houthi militia members.

These developments come amid a simultaneous Houthi military escalation on several fronts in Taiz Governorate, alongside Houthi attempts to advance in several axes, countered by defensive operations and counterattacks from government forces and popular resistance.
