Army issues new statement estimating 127 Houthis killed or wounded
Government-run Saba published a statement by military spokesman Majed al-Nezili on operations over the preceding hours, including 17 airstrikes, 123 drone strikes and rocket and artillery operations. It provisionally estimated that about 127 Houthis were killed or wounded and about 158 vehicles and pieces of equipment destroyed or disabled. This is a conflict party’s account without independent verification; its reporting period has no precise starting point, so these figures are not added to previous totals or treated as independent evidence of territorial change.
