Yemen’s Houthi movement said in a statement that it launched a large-scale, multi-front military operation on Sept. 3 aimed at pushing Saudi forces out of parts of the country’s western coast. According to the statement, the operation drove Saudi forces out of six areas in Taiz and Hodeidah provinces, covering a total of 5,400 square kilometers, and those areas have now returned to security and stability.
The group also said it struck seven Saudi military formations involving 38 brigades, freed a number of its personnel who had been held for years by Saudi-backed mercenaries, and carried out 32 interception operations against Saudi warplanes, downing nine aircraft. In the same statement, the Houthis said maritime navigation remains safe for all companies except Saudi vessels. The group added that it would continue its policy of “blockade for blockade,” keep targeting Saudi forces, and respond to escalation with escalation until what it described as aggression stops and the blockade is lifted.
