Intensifying Yemen Conflict: 32 Air Raids Reported by Houthi‑run Al‑Masirah
Sana'a, 9 September – Houthi representatives announced that coalition warplanes carried out 32 air attacks across four Yemeni provinces – Marib, Al‑Jawf, Taiz and Hudaydah – within a short time frame on Wednesday. The claim was made on Al‑Masirah television, which described the operations as a "Saudi aggression."
Details about the specific targets were not disclosed and no immediate figures on injuries or material loss were released. A military officer on the front lines confirmed to a news agency that the air strikes focused on Houthi‑controlled areas that were providing cover for government ground forces.
Earlier in the day, the coalition had already struck Marib province four times, while the Houthis said they launched a large missile and drone barrage against Saudi soil. Al‑Masirah added that one of the coalition attacks hit the Al‑Jubah district in southern Marib.
The episode unfolds as fighting between Yemeni government troops and Houthi fighters intensifies, with the former claiming recent recapture of the Al‑Ytamah area in northern Al‑Jawf and ongoing clashes near the Bab al‑Mundab strait.
