UPDATE | Fighting in Yemen has intensified sharply across the Taiz–Lahj front, but there is still no verified new breakthrough toward Aden.
The Houthis say Saudi F-15s carried out 26 airstrikes in 24 hours across Taiz, al-Jawf, Marib, Dhamar and Saada. Yemeni government forces, meanwhile, claim 756 attacks on Houthi positions over three days.
Government-aligned forces also reported strikes on Houthi reinforcements west of Taiz and said the Giants Brigades hit a vehicle carrying a Houthi commander on the Kahboub front near Bab el-Mandeb.
Mocha / Dhubab / Mayun — Houthi-held
Kahboub / al-Mudaribah highlands — contested
Government counterattacks — ongoing
Houthi breakthrough toward Aden — not established
Government recapture of Mocha or Dhubab — not established
So far, the earlier Houthi coastal advance has turned into a high-intensity attritional fight in the highlands, not a linear drive south toward Aden.
