Yemeni Houthi spokesman Yahya Sareya issued a statement on the 11th saying that the Houthis have controlled large areas of land in western Yemen since launching an offensive on September 3. Sareya said in a statement that the Houthis launched this large-scale military operation on September 3 and went hand in hand to expel “hostile forces” from six regions in Taiz and Hodeidah provinces, and have taken control of about 5,400 square kilometers of land. During the operation, the Houthis attacked 7 enemy divisional units, killed or captured “hundreds” of enemy personnel, and rescued a large number of Houthis who had been held on the west coast of Yemen for many years. In addition, the Houthis also carried out 32 interceptions of Saudi warplanes and shot down 9 aircraft. The statement reiterated that the Houthis will continue the strategy of “blocking the blockade” and “escalating” until the aggression against Yemen stops and the blockade is lifted. With the exception of Saudi vessels, international maritime traffic remains safe.
