Sanaa-aligned forces have advanced rapidly across Taiz governorate in recent weeks, securing districts including Al-Silw, Al-Mawasit, Jabal Habashi, and others while Saudi-backed Yemeni government units surrendered positions or withdrew under amnesty offers. Saudi coalition airstrikes continue targeting Houthi movements and supply lines in the area, accompanied by Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi military sites. These ground shifts follow earlier Houthi gains along the Red Sea coast and reflect intensified fighting that has displaced tens of thousands. Upcoming Saudi or coalition ground reinforcements, further airstrikes, or negotiated ceasefires could alter control dynamics before any market resolution date.
