Yemeni army claims 1,540 Houthi casualties as Taiz fighting intensifies

The Yemeni government claims 1,540 Houthi fighters killed or wounded in 24 hours, with 474 operations across multiple fronts, concentrated in Taiz. The claim is unverified and likely inflated, but indicates a significant escalation in the long-running conflict. This matters as it could signal a shift in momentum or a renewed offensive, with potential regional implications.
