Houthis Say Saudi Jets Hit Yemen With 35 Airstrikes in 24 Hours

The reported targeting of communication networks alongside schools and other civilian infrastructure points to a campaign aimed at degrading the Houthis' ability to coordinate across multiple provinces at once, not just at frontline positions. The breadth of provinces named — from Saada and Al Jawf in the north to Taiz and Hodeidah in the west and southwest — suggests the strikes are meant to pressure several theatres simultaneously. The Houthi-provided cumulative count is a claim from one side of the conflict and cannot be independently verified from this item alone. Whether the tempo of these operations is sustained, and how regional shipping and border security respond, is the open question worth watching.
