The Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of conducting 28 airstrikes against several areas in Yemen over the last 24 hours. According to the rebels, the attacks ravaged western provinces of Yemen, including Taiz, Al-Jawf, and Marib.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea denounced that the strikes, which employed F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets, targeted civilian areas, alleging that Saudi aircraft took off from air bases in Khamis Mushait and Taif in Saudi Arabia.

In addition to the accusations regarding the number of airstrikes, the Houthis reported that over the past week, the total Saudi airstrikes against their positions reached around 300. The escalation of confrontations in the region has led to a growing increase in violence.

The latest offensive resulted in a devastating toll, with confirmation of six dead, including two children and one woman, as well as at least eight injured. This information was reported by sources linked to Houthi health authorities, who characterized the strikes as a "systematic crime."

The international community continues to monitor the situation in Yemen, where the conflict has persisted for several years, causing a severe humanitarian crisis. The tensions between the Houthis and Saudi forces manifest in a series of retaliations and clashes that intensify each day.

The response from Saudi Arabia and other parties involved in the conflict may influence the development of the situation in Yemen as arrests escalate and mutual accusations proliferate. Calls for a ceasefire and negotiations continue to be heard, but the path to peace remains uncertain.
