Sanaa: Yemeni government forces announced targeting heavy equipment and machinery used by the Houthi group to build fortifications, as well as a Houthi command position, in western Yemen, as reported by state-run media.

According to TRTworld.com, the Yemeni Armed Forces 5th Military Region focused on heavy equipment and excavation machinery used by the Houthis for constructing fortifications. In a separate operation, government forces also targeted a position occupied by a Houthi commander and his escorts, as stated by the broadcaster.

Details regarding casualties or the exact locations of these operations remain unavailable at this time. The developments occur amidst increased military activity between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis along various front lines.

Recently, government forces have reported strikes on Houthi positions and movements, while accusing the group of targeting military and civilian areas using drones and missiles. In 2014, the Iran-backed Houthis seized control of significant parts of the country, including Yemen's capital, Sanaa, leading to years of conflict with Yemeni government forces supported by a Saudi-led coalition.
