Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, announced Monday the launch of a military and security operation dubbed “Dawn of Yemen,” aimed at retaking the capital Sana’a from Ansarallah and restoring control over state institutions.
🔸 “The Dawn of Yemen operation has begun to restore state institutions, liberate the capital Sana’a, and end the Houthi coup,” Al-Alimi said, a day after announcing the start of military operations to “restore the remaining territory of the Republic and extend state authority nationwide.”
The Saudi-led coalition said Monday that 100 fighter jets were taking part in “Operation Dawn of Yemen,” providing round-the-clock air support to Saudi-backed Yemeni forces and air cover over the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait.
🔸 Coalition spokesperson claimed 324 “high-value” targets had been destroyed since the operation began. The coalition’s intervention follows overnight Saudi-backed strikes on Sana’a and the northern province of Saada.
🔸 On the ground, Saudi-backed forces claimed Monday to have taken large parts of Dhubab district overlooking Bab al-Mandab. They also claimed control of the Dhubab airstrip and key positions around the strait, while Ansarallah-aligned media denied that Saudi-backed forces had advanced. Reuters reported that fighting remained under way in the area.
🔸 Elsewhere, Saudi-backed forces claimed gains in southern Taiz. The military claimed it had carried out 1,122 attacks across Saada, Al-Jawf, Taiz and the western coast, killing or otherwise “neutralizing” 1,747 Ansarallah fighters. The figures could not be independently verified.
🔸 Ansarallah said Sunday it had launched ballistic missiles and drones at Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais, causing major fires. It said the strikes were retaliation for 50 Saudi airstrikes and missiles over the previous 12 hours on Sana’a, al-Jawf, Taiz, Amran, Hajjah, and Saada.
