Yemen’s Dawn of Yemen Offensive: 780 New Strikes Bring Documented Tally to at Least 25,353
Yemeni military reports 512 Houthi fighters and commanders neutralized, more than 330 military vehicles destroyed or disabled, and reinforcements heading toward Taiz targeted as operations continue across multiple fronts.
Yemen’s armed forces announced 780 precision strikes against Houthi positions over the past 24 hours as part of the ongoing Dawn of Yemen offensive, reporting continued military pressure across northern fronts, Al-Jawf, western Marib, Al-Bayda, and the southern and western sectors.
According to the military spokesperson, the latest operations targeted Houthi field commanders, troop concentrations, reinforcements, fortified positions, heavy weapons emplacements, and military transport and supply vehicles.
The military reported that approximately 512 Houthi fighters and commanders were neutralized, while more than 330 military vehicles and personnel carriers were destroyed or disabled.
The strikes also reportedly destroyed heavy weapons and reinforcements moving toward the front lines in Taiz, where government forces have been conducting sustained offensive operations.
The spokesperson said successive strikes had disrupted Houthi force organization and weakened the group's ability to reinforce its forward positions, enabling government troops to maintain offensive momentum across several battlefronts.
Cumulative Strikes Surpass 25,000
The latest announcement brings the documented cumulative number of strikes under Operation Dawn of Yemen to at least 25,353, based on previously reported military figures and subsequent operational updates tracked by Sheba Intelligence.
The offensive, launched in early October, has involved coordinated airstrikes, drone operations, artillery bombardments, and ground assaults against Houthi positions across several governorates.
Military figures previously tracked by Sheba Intelligence show the following progression:
|
Date |
Reported strikes |
Cumulative documented total |
|---|---|---|
|
October 18 |
1,326 |
22,574 |
|
October 19 |

23,738 |
|
October 21 |
835 |
24,573 |
|
October 22 |

25,353 |
The cumulative figure represents a documented minimum based on available announcements rather than a fully reconciled operational total. The October 20 reporting period has not been independently accounted for in this calculation, while overlapping reporting windows cannot be entirely ruled out.
Continued Pressure on Houthi Reinforcements
The latest military statement highlights the targeting of Houthi reinforcement movements toward Taiz, suggesting continued efforts by government forces to disrupt supply routes and prevent the group from replenishing its forward positions.
Across Al-Jawf, western Marib, Al-Bayda, and the southern and western fronts, the military described sustained attacks on fortified positions, heavy weapons, and troop concentrations.
These operations form part of a broader campaign aimed at degrading Houthi combat capabilities, limiting battlefield mobility, and maintaining pressure across multiple fronts simultaneously.
Military Outlook
The Yemeni armed forces warned that Houthi military movements, reinforcements, and attempts to recover battlefield initiative would remain under surveillance and subject to further strikes.
The military also reiterated its stated commitment to international humanitarian law and the precautionary measures required to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The latest casualty, equipment-loss, and operational figures are based on Yemeni military announcements and have not been independently verified by Sheba Intelligence.
Editorial note: The 25,353 figure is a provisional documented tally, not a confirmed final total. The 835 strikes reported on October 21 have been included once, while the unaccounted October 20 reporting period remains excluded.
