Fighting continues to rage in Yemen, with forces aligned with the country’s internationally recognised government claiming to have killed and wounded at least 190 Houthi fighters in hundreds of air and artillery attacks. Majed Abdullah al-Nuzail, a spokesman for Yemen’s government forces, said on Tuesday that the attacks targeted Houthi positions in Lahij, Taiz, Marib, al-Jawf, Hajjah and al-Bayda provinces. In a statement, he said Yemeni government forces carried out at least 29 air strikes and 39 drone attacks. The government forces also fired 62 rockets and carried out 744 artillery attacks, he added. “Initial field reports indicate that about 190 Houthi commanders and fighters were killed or injured,” al-Nuzaili said.
