Taiz:The Yemeni army carried out airstrikes on Houthi positions in the southwestern province of Taiz amid increasing military tensions across the country.

According to Anadolu Agency, the airstrikes targeted Houthi positions, gatherings, and vehicles at locations including al-Maqrami, al-Jaasha, and al-Sallal hills east of Taiz city, as well as Hisn al-Mukhaf and the Bala'an area on the Aqrouz front in the south of the province. Details regarding casualties or damage were not provided.

In Sanaa, Yemeni media outlets reported additional strikes in the capital but did not clarify who was responsible or if there were casualties or damage. In Saada, the Houthi-run Saba news agency noted six Saudi airstrikes in the Majz district and Saada city, along with rocket fire in the Sahar district.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the continuation of attacks on Saudi airports, despite international and UN calls to cease. He warned airlines, aviation personnel, and travelers about potential targeting of Saudi airports and airspace.

This threat follows a recent Houthi strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in 12 deaths and 309 injuries, as reported by the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation. The attack occurred against a backdrop of escalating fighting in Yemen since July, which has extended into Saudi territory.

The conflict in Yemen began when the Houthis took control of Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, leading to a Saudi-led coalition intervention in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government.
