Saudi-led coalition bombs Hayfan district as Houthi forces push forward in Yemen
Coalition aircraft struck the Hayfan area of Taiz province, while Houthi rebels continue advancing along Yemen's Red Sea coast.
Air forces of the Saudi-led coalition carried out a strike on Hayfan district in Taiz province, according to al-Masirah television. The report did not specify any casualties or damage. The attack coincides with rapid Houthi gains across western Yemen, including claims of control over large sections of the Red Sea shoreline and movement toward the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The United Nations has reported that hostilities have displaced at least 125,000 people since the start of September.
Why it matters
The strike highlights escalating fighting in Yemen and rising civilian displacement along vital shipping lanes.
