Saudi‑led forces announced that they have carried out airstrikes on a number of positions around the Yemeni city of Taiz in an effort to break a Houthi siege.
The strikes were aimed at Houthi positions that have surrounded Taiz, a key city in Yemen’s western region. The coalition said the operation was intended to relieve pressure on the city’s defenders and restore access to supplies.
Taiz has been a focal point of the conflict between the Saudi‑backed Yemeni government and Houthi rebels for several years. The city’s strategic location has made it a frequent target of both ground and aerial attacks.
Saudi‑led forces have repeatedly stated that their objective is to weaken Houthi control in the area and support Yemeni government forces. The recent airstrikes are part of a broader campaign to counter the Houthi blockade around Taiz.
Details on the number of positions struck or the impact of the operation have not been released. The coalition has not yet confirmed casualties or damage figures from the latest strikes.
