## Key points

- Yemen’s government claims attacks killed or wounded about 190 Houthi fighters.
- The Houthis also report losses among government-aligned forces.
- The WHO reports 1,771 deaths and more than 300,000 displaced since August.

## Summary

Yemen’s internationally recognised government and the Houthi movement have reported exchanging attacks across several governorates, each claiming to have inflicted heavy losses. The escalation matters as government forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, seek to retake territory from the Houthis amid wider regional tensions linked to the US-Israel war on Iran.

A government spokesman said its forces carried out 29 air strikes, 39 drone attacks, 62 rocket attacks and 744 artillery attacks, claiming about 190 Houthi fighters and commanders were killed or wounded and up to 130 vehicles or combat assets damaged or destroyed. The Houthis reported losses among government-aligned fighters and accused Saudi-backed forces of attacks that harmed civilians; the coalition did not immediately confirm those strikes, and the battlefield claims could not be independently verified. The WHO says hostilities in Yemen since August have killed at least 1,771 people, wounded 7,959 and displaced more than 300,000.
