Yemeni army forces succeeded in conducting 414 military operations against the Houthis in various fronts over the past day. According to Majed Al-Nazili, spokesperson for the legitimate Yemeni government army, these operations focused on targeting Houthi reinforcements and military capabilities.
Casualties and Reactions
The Yemeni army spokesperson did not provide casualty figures, but reports indicate that the Houthis had not reacted to these operations by the time this report was published. The Yemeni Ministry of Defense announced a day earlier that 356 operations had been carried out against Houthi positions across 10 fronts, resulting in the deaths or injuries of 476 members of this group.
Background of the Clashes
Clashes in Yemen began in 2014 and have continued following the capture of Sana'a and parts of the country by the Houthis. A coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been engaged in the war since 2015 in support of the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Clashes intensified in September 2026 when the Houthis seized key areas in the provinces of Hodeidah and Taiz.
Recently, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defense Pact, under which any attack on one of these countries is considered an attack on all of them. In this context, the Turkish Foreign Minister announced that Ankara is ready to assist Saudi Arabia within the framework of this pact.
Meanwhile, the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has reported the execution of Ali Hemmati and Majid Nikandish, two protesters arrested during the protests in December 2025 in Mashhad. These two have been accused of participating in attacks on public property and clashes with security forces. In this regard, human rights organizations have warned about the conditions of executions and forced confessions.
As Iran faces economic and social crises, the recent executions are seen as a tool to suppress dissent and protesters. International bodies have strongly condemned these actions.
In another development, the U.S. State Department has offered a reward of up to $15 million for information about three senior officials of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These individuals have been identified as responsible for developing weapon systems and supplying equipment for the IRGC. This action coincides with the sanctioning of 10 other individuals and entities in various countries.
