Yemen conflict intensifies as government forces clash with Houthis on multiple fronts

Yemen conflict Houthi militia Presidential Leadership Council Taiz battles Al Hudaydah fighting

Fighting between Yemeni government forces and Houthi militants has intensified across multiple fronts, including Taiz, Al Hudaydah, and Al Dhale. In Taiz, violent clashes occurred on the Kalaba and Safaa fronts, resulting in casualties for both sides. In Al Hudaydah, National Resistance forces repelled a Houthi attack near Mount Dubas in the Hays district, following Houthi shelling that targeted residential villages with mortar fire.

The escalation includes Houthi drone strikes and artillery fire targeting infrastructure and civilian areas. A drone strike caused damage to a hangar in Hadramaut, and shelling near the Al Wadia border crossing resulted in the burning of four trucks, some carrying petroleum products.

In response to the ongoing conflict, the Presidential Leadership Council met in Riyadh and approved new deterrence measures against the Houthi group. The council emphasized its commitment to restoring state institutions and vowed to make further Houthi escalations more costly. Analysts suggest that the government's strategy of opening multiple fronts aims to deplete Houthi resources and divert their military focus away from the Red Sea maritime corridors.
