The Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for recent rocket and drone strikes targeting government forces within the country. According to statements released by the group, the coordinated attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 38 individuals and injured 29 others. Yahya Sareh, a military spokesman for the pro-Iranian rebels, stated that the assault was part of a large-scale operation intended to strike concentrations of enemy troops.
In a declaration, the Houthis denounced what they characterized as the “considerable reinforcement” of government forces that they claim are backed by Saudi Arabia. The Houthi statement further alleged that their actions successfully killed or wounded hundreds of “fighters supported by Saudi Arabia” across several locations, specifically naming Al-Ruwaiq, Al-Abr, and Al-Thaniyya. They also reported the destruction of various camps during the operation.
These reports indicate an ongoing escalation of hostilities within Yemen, with the Houthi forces asserting that their military actions are a direct response to the perceived strengthening of government military presence. The figures provided regarding casualties represent the claims made by the Houthi leadership following the strikes.
