Sanaa – The military spokesperson for the Houthi movement said on Thursday that Saudi-led coalition aircraft carried out 62 airstrikes on various locations across Yemen within the past 24 hours, marking a significant escalation in aerial military operations.
According to the spokesperson's statement, the strikes targeted multiple areas in several Yemeni provinces. The Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of intensifying its military campaign, alleging that the raids struck areas under the group's control.
The spokesperson did not provide detailed information regarding casualties or damage resulting from the reported airstrikes. Independent verification of the claims was not immediately available, and no official statement had been issued by Saudi authorities regarding the reported operations.
The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions and military confrontations on several fronts in Yemen, where fighting between Houthi forces and government-aligned troops continues despite international calls for de-escalation and a return to political dialogue.
