Marib:Yemen Yemen's army announced on Sunday that it had conducted 992 operations against Houthi forces, resulting in approximately 267 fighters and commanders being killed, wounded, or fleeing the battlefield. Additionally, the army reported the loss of nine officers.

According to Anadolu Agency, military spokesman Majed al-Nuzaili indicated that preliminary field reports revealed the destruction or damage of 97 military vehicles and weapons. The operations included 19 airstrikes, 29 drone strikes, and 944 artillery and rocket attacks targeting Houthi positions, reinforcements, and military equipment.

Al-Nuzaili also noted advances in Al-Jawf province and on southern and southwestern fronts, though specific captured positions were not identified. Ongoing fighting was reported in Marib and Taiz. The Houthi group has not commented on the military's statement.

Earlier on Sunday, the army announced the death of nine officers, including two field commanders, with funerals held in Marib. The military did not specify the time or location of these deaths. In separate statements, the army claimed strikes on Houthi positions and vehicles in Marib and Lahj, citing casualties without providing specific numbers.

The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting a Houthi drone and five missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia. The country's Energy Ministry noted minor damage to an Aramco administrative building in Riyadh from falling debris, with no casualties.

The conflict in Yemen has intensified since July, resulting in around 10,000 casualties, according to UN reports. The ongoing war began in 2014 when the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and other regions, prompting a Saudi-led coalition intervention in 2015. This has led to prolonged fighting and a severe humanitarian crisis, with recent escalations breaking the relative calm observed since 2022.
