Yemen Conducts 20 Air Strikes on Houthi Targets Amid Taiz Conflict Escalation
Yemen's internationally recognised government reported 20 air strikes on Houthi targets in Taiz province over three hours, amid escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthis. The strikes targeted personnel, vehicles, and equipment, with fighting spreading across Taiz and road closures imposed. Saudi Arabia accused the Houthis of attacking a power station in Medina, which the Houthis denied. The renewed fighting risks displacing more people and could affect control over key regions and Red Sea shipping routes.
