Yemeni military reports 874 new strikes, approximately 190 Houthi fighters killed or wounded, and 130 military vehicles destroyed or disabled across multiple fronts.

 

Yemeni government forces have reported 874 new targeting operations against Houthi positions and military equipment across several fronts, bringing the provisional cumulative total of Operation Dawn of Yemen to approximately 46,053 targeting operations since its launch on October 4.

According to the latest military statement, approximately 190 Houthi commanders and fighters were killed or wounded, while around 130 military vehicles and pieces of equipment were destroyed or disabled.

The military also announced the recapture of several positions along the southern and southwestern fronts, where government forces continue to engage Houthi units.

 

Artillery Dominates Latest Operations

The latest operations included 29 fighter jet airstrikes, 39 drone strikes, 62 multiple rocket launcher operations and 744 field artillery strikes.

Artillery accounted for approximately 85% of the reported targeting operations, reflecting the continued reliance on sustained ground-based firepower against Houthi positions, reinforcements, fortifications and firing locations.

The military said the strikes also damaged Houthi defensive positions and military infrastructure.

 

Fighting Across Al-Jawf, Marib and Taiz

In the northern fronts, particularly Al-Jawf and Marib, Emergency Divisions, Nation's Shield Forces and units from the Third, Sixth and Seventh Military Regions continued operations against Houthi movements and positions.

In Al-Bayda, Shabwa Defense Forces and other government military units maintained combat operations.

In Taiz, government troops supported by local resistance fighters continued confronting Houthi attacks and targeting the group's positions and movements.

Meanwhile, Nation's Shield Forces, Giants Brigades and National Resistance units reported recapturing several positions along the southern and southwestern fronts, although the military statement did not identify the locations or specify the extent of the territorial gains.

 

More Than 46,000 Targeting Operations Since October 4

The latest figures follow 1,974 targeting operations reported on November 8–9, during which the Yemeni military claimed approximately 394 Houthi fighters and commanders were neutralised, including those killed, wounded or fleeing the battlefield.

Government forces also reported destroying or disabling 255 military vehicles and pieces of equipment over those two days.

According to figures compiled by Sheba Intelligence from successive military statements, the provisional cumulative number of targeting operations has now reached 46,053.

The total is based on the previously published estimate of 45,179 operations plus the latest 874 operations. It remains subject to reconciliation of daily figures to exclude possible overlapping reporting periods.

The latest developments indicate continued military pressure across Al-Jawf, Marib, Taiz, Al-Bayda and the southern fronts, with government forces reporting further territorial gains.

The Yemeni Armed Forces said operations would continue until the objectives of Operation Dawn of Yemen were achieved, while reaffirming their commitment to taking precautions to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The reported battlefield losses and territorial gains are based on preliminary military statements and have not been independently verified.
