Yemen reports over 700 Houthi casualties in massive one-day offensive

Yemen's military reported conducting an intensive campaign of 1,250 operations against Houthi-controlled areas within 24 hours, claiming over 700 militant casualties from the strikes. The operations coincided with reported Houthi attacks on Aden's presidential palace, escalating hostilities in the country's prolonged conflict.

Houthi representatives have disputed claims regarding their operations, specifically denying allegations of missile strikes directed towards Medina in neighbouring Saudi Arabia. The group's denial comes as the Saudi-led coalition continues to report interception of multiple missiles and projectiles aimed at coalition-held territories.

The reported surge in military operations reflects an intensification of hostilities between Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition over recent months. The conflict continues to destabilize Yemen, with both sides maintaining active military campaigns amid ongoing diplomatic stalemate.
