The Yemeni Army announced on Sunday the execution of 1732 targeting operations against Houthi military sites, resulting in the neutralization of over 900 of its members and the destruction and disabling of more than 287 military vehicles and equipment.
The official spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Colonel Majed Abdullah Al-Nazly, said in a statement that the 1732 operations were carried out in conjunction with the advance of army units on the attack axes within the "Dawn of Yemen" operation.
He explained that the targeting was carried out using war aircraft, drones, field artillery, and rocket launchers, and targeted fortifications, defensive sites, command and control centers, observation and reconnaissance points for the Houthis, in addition to artillery positions, rocket launchers, and areas of gathering, reinforcement, and weapons and ammunition stores.
The statement added that the operations also included logistics and transportation vehicles, alongside military targets described as "high value" in depth.
Al-Nazly said: "The operations resulted in the neutralization of more than 900 militia elements, and the destruction and disabling of more than 287 military vehicles and equipment."
He pointed out that the operations also resulted in silencing sources of fire, disrupting the Houthi command and control system, and disabling reinforcement and supply.
He affirmed that the Yemeni forces continue to "break through the militia's defensive sites and expand the scope of progress," and that the offensive operations are ongoing "according to the operational plan."
The statement did not provide additional details regarding the geographical locations where the operations took place, nor the time period, and no immediate comment was issued by the Houthis regarding the information contained therein.
The "Dawn of Yemen" operation was announced by the Yemeni authorities about a week ago, and the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, said it aims to restore state institutions and control the capital, Sanaa.
This comes amid a military escalation that began in Yemen in July 2026, and is the largest since the relative calm period that followed a truce between the Yemeni government and the Houthi group, which began in April 2022.
Yemen has been witnessing a war since the Houthis took control of the capital, Sanaa, and several provinces in September 2014, before the intervention of a Saudi-led Arab coalition in March 2015, in support of the Yemeni government.
