The Yemeni army's operations in Taiz province have been ongoing for several weeks, with the military conducting repeated airstrikes and ground operations against Houthi positions.

According to reports from the field, Houthi militants are attempting to gain control of high ground and surrounding supply routes, rather than relying solely on direct confrontations around mountainous areas.
