Sanaa, Nov 15: Yemen's government forces and the Houthi group have reported fresh attacks across several fronts, with both sides claiming significant casualties and destruction of military equipment.

Majid al-Nuzaili, spokesperson for the government forces, said on social media platform X on Saturday (local time) that government troops had carried out 723 attacks on Houthi positions in recent hours.

The attacks reportedly included 37 airstrikes, 56 drone attacks and hundreds of rocket and artillery strikes.

Al-Nuzaili claimed that around 321 Houthi fighters and commanders had been killed or wounded, while 117 military vehicles and pieces of equipment were destroyed or disabled. The attacks targeted Houthi troop gatherings, fortifications and military equipment, reports Xinhua news agency.

Meanwhile, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said on X that the group had launched several ballistic missiles targeting Saudi troop gatherings in the Kharaz area of southern Yemen.

He claimed that the missile strikes killed or wounded dozens of soldiers and destroyed several military vehicles.

Sarea also accused Saudi warplanes of carrying out 72 airstrikes against civilian sites across four Yemeni provinces over the past 24 hours.

However, the claims made by both sides could not be independently verified.

Separately, coalition spokesperson Turki Al-Maliki said on X on Saturday that coalition forces had intercepted and destroyed two drones launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh and the southern regions of Saudi Arabia.

Yemen has been embroiled in conflict since late 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and large parts of the country's north.

The developments prompted a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in 2015 in support of Yemen's internationally recognised government, prolonging the conflict in the country.
