Clashes between the armed forces and the Houthi militia escalated on the Al-Aqroud front in Taiz and the Al-Sarih front in Lahj. Airstrikes hit Houthi reinforcements and positions, killing and wounding members of the militia. Air defenses shot down a suicide drone north of Marib before it could reach its target. The armed forces also carried out intensive strikes and foiled Houthi attacks on several fronts, according to the day’s roundup.
