Houthis Expand Taiz Offensive Southward into Lahj
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launched a three-pronged offensive in northern Lahj province on Friday, seeking to push toward the Tur Al-Bahah district and gain fire control over strategic routes linking Lahj and Taiz. The escalation came as Yemen's armed forces held their ground on the southern and western fronts around Taiz city and stepped up air and ground strikes against Houthi positions there, along the western coast and in the eastern provinces of Al-Jawf and Marib.
