In conjunction with targeting reinforcements on the fronts of Taiz, the Yemeni armed forces revealed the monitoring of the Houthi militia's use of Iranian air defense weapons with innovative techniques and tactics, considering that they "pose a serious threat to international flight corridors and civilian aircraft."

The spokesperson for the Yemeni army, Colonel Majid Abdullah Al-Nazili, stated that the air defense weapons with innovative tactics have been converted, with the help of experts from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard present on Yemeni territory, into "cruise missiles" launched from the Al-Hudaydah governorate towards international air routes south of the Red Sea.

He clarified in a statement on Saturday that these missiles can roam for up to 25 minutes per missile, operate on a thermal tracking system, and attack any thermal source without the ability to distinguish between military or civilian targets, emphasizing that "this poses a direct and serious threat to the safety of civil aviation and the lives of travelers, including United Nations aircraft and humanitarian and relief organizations that use these air routes for Yemen and the region."

The Yemeni armed forces published a video documenting the use of Iranian air defense missiles by the Houthi militias launched from Hodeidah towards international air routes south of the Red Sea.

Al-Nazili considered that "this dangerous escalation coincides with the threats issued by Iranian Supreme Leader's advisor Mohammad Makbar and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Mohsen Rezai to target and disrupt aviation services in the region, following the sanctions imposed on Iranian airlines."

The Yemeni armed forces also called for a firm international stance in response to the Houthi threat to international airspace, emphasizing that "the use of these Iranian weapons from Yemeni territory... requires a responsible and firm position and actions from the relevant authorities, foremost among them the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association."

On the ground, the Yemeni warplanes launched a series of airstrikes targeting positions, gatherings, and reinforcements belonging to the Houthi militia in several fronts in Taiz Governorate, while a military source clarified that the airstrikes targeted a Houthi supply convoy on Al-Sittin Street north of Taiz city, achieving direct hits.

The military source also added that other airstrikes targeted Houthi reinforcements in the Hinna area of the Al-Waziyah district west of Taiz, in addition to sites and storage facilities for weapons, ammunition, and missiles in the Mawiya junction and Al-Dhakira junction east of the governorate, while the warplanes targeted another gathering of the Houthi militia in the Al-Suwaida area of the Haifan district south of Taiz.

The source confirmed that the airstrikes resulted in the destruction of vehicles and the death and injury of dozens within the militia, including field leaders.

It is noted that the intensity of confrontations in Yemen has escalated since the beginning of September, with military movements by the Houthis on the western coast and areas near Bab al-Mandab, in contrast to the intensification of government forces' operations on the fronts of Marib, Al-Jawf, and Taiz.
