Yemeni government forces are making gains, recapturing key territories and securing strategic locations like Sheikh Saeed hill and Tabat Al-Khazan in Taiz.

Reports indicate ongoing, intense clashes in Taiz and the western coast, with both sides battling for control of strategic routes and territories.

An analyst suggests that despite significant mobilization, Houthi militias have not achieved any real progress on the ground.

Houthi militias are condemned for escalating attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in Taiz, causing casualties and displacement.

Yemeni government leadership asserts its readiness to counter Houthi escalation and protect civilians, emphasizing that Houthi attacks will not alter the balance of power.
