Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on social media on the 6th the group
launched dozens of strikes on "Saudi-backed fighters" concentration points in
Lahij province in southern Yemen, claiming more than 200 killed or wounded — a
toll it called "unprecedented" in recent fighting. He said Houthis also struck
concentration points in eastern Jawf and eastern Marib (an oil-producing
province), dismissed reports of large-scale government advances on the Red Sea
coast as exaggerated, and said operations against government forces continue in
Taiz province in the southwest.
