According to a report by Yemen's official state news agency Saba, Colonel Majed Abdullah Al-Nazili, a spokesperson for the armed forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government, stated that since the government launched Operation "Yemen Dawn" on October 5—aimed at retaking the capital Sana'a and other areas controlled by the Houthi movement—nearly 1,300 strikes have been carried out. These operations have "neutralized" 440 Houthi fighters and destroyed or disabled 132 vehicles, armored units, and heavy weapons.
