Houthis Block Taiz Road, Attack Countryside
The Houthi movement in Yemen has cut off a major road connecting Taiz Governorate to the temporary capital, Aden, and launched intense attacks on widespread residential areas in the districts of Sam'a, Shamayatain, Jabal Habashi, Al-Muqbana, and Al-Masirahkh in a significant military escalation. Clashes and the siege have resulted in casualties and injuries on both sides, amidst panic and mass displacement caused by intense shelling and explosions. This escalation was worsened when the Houthis managed to blow up a main ferry on the vital road, leading to a halt in traffic. Fighting has continued with the Houthis advancing, while government forces and resistance groups responded with aerial bombardments and air strikes. The conflict persists across various fronts in the governorate, which has experienced heightened hostilities since July, reflecting the broader escalation in Yemen since the outbreak of conflict in 2014.
