## Key points

- Government forces claim new gains in al-Jawf.
- Fighting and reported strikes continue across several fronts.
- Saudi Arabia issued alerts after alleged threats.

## Summary

Yemeni government forces say they have advanced into the al-Dahida mountain range in al-Jawf province, claiming to have seized Houthi positions, weapons and equipment. The reported gains form part of Operation Dawn of Yemen, now in its second month, as the internationally recognised government seeks to extend its authority.

The military said troops received air and drone support, while strikes also targeted Houthi gatherings and depots; independent confirmation and an official account of losses were not provided. Fighting has also intensified elsewhere: a missile strike on a recruitment camp in al-Dhalea reportedly killed eight people and wounded more than 15, while both sides reported attacks in other provinces. Saudi Arabia issued several security alerts, though the Houthis denied launching attacks on its territory.
