Yemeni government forces said they carried out multiple air and ground operations across the Taiz governorate in the last 24 hours, marking a fresh escalation in the fighting against Houthi rebels.
The government’s statement described coordinated aerial strikes followed by ground assaults in several locations throughout Taiz, a city that has been a focal point of the civil war since the conflict erupted in 2014.
Taiz, Yemen’s third‑largest city, has changed hands multiple times during the war and remains contested, with both sides seeking to control its strategic road links and commercial districts.
While the government forces highlighted the intensity of the operations, they did not release casualty figures or specific details about the targets hit during the attacks.
The renewed combat adds to the broader humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where the United Nations has warned that the protracted conflict continues to displace millions and impede the delivery of aid across the country.
