Yemen Fighting Intensifies as Government Forces Urge People to Avoid Houthi Positions

Fighting in Yemen remains concentrated west of Taiz, with government forces calling on people to stay away from Houthi positions as airstrikes intensify.

Clashes are focused on supply-route junctions and elevated terrain, placing these locations at the centre of the fighting.

Despite the continuing battles, neither side has achieved a strategic advance. The fighting has yet to produce a decisive shift in control.

Airstrikes targeting Houthi positions have increased alongside the ground clashes. The warning from government forces comes amid this escalation.
