TREE NEWS update: Yemen’s Houthi movement said the Saudi-led coalition carried out 81 airstrikes and missile attacks across Yemen in the 24 hours to the evening of Feb. 27, hitting the capital Sanaa and the provinces of Taiz, Lahij and Hajjah and causing civilian casualties. The Houthis said the total number of coalition strikes since the current escalation began has reached 3,379.
Houthis Say Saudi-Led Coalition Struck Yemen 81 Times in 24 Hours
The significance here is less the single-day count than the Houthis' cumulative tally, which frames the current escalation as sustained rather than episodic — and the fact that the figures come from one party to the conflict, with no independent verification in the item. Sanaa, Taiz, Lahij and Hajjah together suggest strikes are spread across both front-line and rear areas, which matters most for civilians in those provinces. Whether the reported tempo holds, and whether any independent accounting emerges to corroborate the 3,379 figure, is the open question.
