Yemeni Government Reports 133 Operations Against Houthis in 24 Hours Across Seven Provinces

Yemen's internationally recognised government said its forces conducted more than 133 operations against Houthi fighters across seven provinces in the 24 hours before August 18, 2026. Army spokesperson Colonel Majed al-Nuzaili said the operations targeted "the capabilities and elements of the terrorist Houthi militia." The surge follows a collapsed UN truce and escalation tied to the US-Iran war. The claim could not be independently verified.
