According to the military spokesperson Majed Al-Nuzaili, the attacks included 62 rocket-launcher missions and 744 field artillery strikes, targeting Houthi positions, troop concentrations, reinforcements, and military equipment.
The Yemeni army also reported that warplanes conducted 29 airstrikes and drones carried out 39 strikes, significantly impacting Houthi military vehicles and equipment.
In Taiz, Yemeni troops backed by the Popular Resistance were reported to be repelling Houthi attacks and striking the group’s positions and movements.
Further north, units from the Emergency Divisions, Nation’s Shield Forces, and 3rd, 6th, and 7th Military Regions were countering Houthi movements and attacking positions on the northern fronts and in Al-Jawf and Marib.
The Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree countered that fighters had targeted sites with ballistic missiles and drones, claiming that both operations achieved their objectives.
Saree stated that the enemy continues its unjust aggression against their people, with 50 air strikes and missiles targeting Sanaa and other governorates.
The coalition intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis at Riyadh shortly after authorities issued an alert, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
Brent crude oil prices surpassed $100 a barrel due to the heightened tensions and Houthi attacks on Saudi sites.
The Guardian reported that RAF pilots will attempt to shoot down Houthi missiles and drones, which have attacked Saudi airports and oil facilities.

What's confirmed
- Yemen’s Houthi rebels captured more strategic islands in the southern Red Sea, Yemeni government and Houthi officials said on Monday, strengthening their control of a major maritime shipping route.
- The rebels deployed fighters on the islands of Greater Hanish and Lesser Hanish 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Bab el-Mandeb Strait, according to two government officials and a Houthi official.
What's still developing
- ADEN: Yemen’s armed forces said on Tuesday they have carried out 874 attacks on Houthi targets during the past several hours as part of the “Dawn of Yemen” operation, killing or wounding about 190 Houthi commanders and fighters in air and ground strikes on several fronts.
- Yemen's army said its forces killed or wounded around 190 Houthi commanders and fighters in a series of air and ground strikes across multiple fronts over the past several hours.
- Brent crude broke back above $100 a barrel after US strikes on Iranian tankers and Houthi attacks on Saudi sites turned a tense oil market into a rate problem.
- But not anymore - at least not while the Houthis are threatening vessels that pass by their coast.
- And now the Iran-backed Houthis of Yemen have entered the fray, after a 2022 ceasefire with neighbouring Saudi Arabia appeared to have broken down.
- The pro-Iranian fighters targeted “the headquarters of military operations, led by Saudi officers, at the Al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, as well as weapons depots belonging to them,” according to the rebel group’s news agency.
- The spokesperson also said the coalition had destroyed 127 weapons storage facilities and launch platforms in Yemen’s mountainous areas.
- Houthis targeted Saudi forces' command headquarters at Badr camp and depots in Aden. 5 outlets told this the same way.
- Al-Nazili also said Yemeni forces had "neutralised" more than 430 Houthi fighters in 24 hours, while destroying or disabling more than 100 of their vehicles and military assets, as the war’s battlefronts included Taiz where the Houthis encircled the city by cutting its main road south to Aden.
- They said the Houthis took over the islands after hundreds of government-allied forces withdrew from the archipelago.
- 12, 2026, as they follow a convoy carrying Houthi prisoners freed in Mokha on its way to Sanaa following the Houthi takeover of the southern Red Sea port city.
- Rashad al-Alimi, head of the ruling Presidential Leadership Council, promised a “firm response.” He said the attack reflects the Houthis’ “approach of resorting to cowardly terrorist attacks whenever they face pressures or their Iranian-backed sabotage plots falter.” The Houthi-run SABA news agency claimed the rebel attack killed and wounded dozens but did not provide further details.
