That is why we will give you some of a summary of what is happening on the ground, especially on the Taiz fronts. Taiz [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=28) Governorate consists of 23 districts, 20 of which are considered rural. The Yemeni armed forces took control of most of them during [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=35) In recent days, namely Al-Wazi'iyah, Mawza, Dhubab, and Al-Makha during the battles on the western coast, then moved on to take control of [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=42) important mountainous districts with strategic dimensions, namely Jabal Habashi District, Al-Shamayatayn District, Al-Ma'afer District, and the district of [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=53) Al-Mawaset, Al-Turbah City, Sami' District, and Al-Silw District. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=57) The forces managed to impose a tight military cordon on the remaining districts in the city and its western outskirts, [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=65) namely Al-Misrakh District and Mashra'a wa Hadnan District, Sabir al-Mawadim District, where clashes are taking place fiercely from all directions, leaving only [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=77) the city's districts of al-Muzaffar, al-Qahira, and parts of al-Taiziyah and parts of Sala District inside the city. While Yemeni forces fight fierce battles [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=88) to consolidate control over what remains of the governorate, Saudi Arabia launched a coastal breakthrough operation with hundreds of [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=95) airstrikes, Apaches, and tens of thousands of soldiers aimed at achieving a breakthrough to seize Bab al-Mandab, it [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=103) encountered a different reality that foiled the plan and led to a return The forces returned whence they came, only remaining at Dhubab Airport, where they [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=111) are being besieged. Despite the media hype by hostile parties attempting to prove the fall of Mokha, Bab al-Mandab and Dhubab, the [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=121) citizens and various media outlets reported otherwise That is borne out by dozens of videos and reports that prove the Yemeni forces control the entire coast [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=133) the west. On the other side of Yemen, battles do not stop in the east across the country, in Al-Jawf and Marib, to ease pressure on the fronts [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=140) in the raging city of Taiz. Meanwhile, clashes are underway on all these fronts, while Saudi warplanes launch hundreds of airstrikes [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=148) daily to support fighters in Taiz, Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, Marib, and Al-Jawf, as well as other civilian areas such as Sana’a, Saada, and Hajjah. [2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=155) Meanwhile, Yemen’s missile forces are carrying out dual operations intensively these days, some targeting Saudi troop build-ups on [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=162) the ground behind each front, while others are continuous, precise strikes targeting deep inside Saudi Arabia, at oil facilities, airports, [2:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=170) and military bases, as ongoing responses to the aggressive airstrikes, according to Brigadier Yahya Saree, spokesperson for [2:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=177) the Yemeni Armed Forces. At this pace, the Yemeni front intensifies every day amid real advances by Sana’a, which seeks to liberate all areas controlled by forces affiliated [3:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/04WONFHojVug/en/yemen-conflict-battles-in-taiz-and-along-the-west-coast?t=188) with Saudi Arabia in past years, and also aims to lift the comprehensive blockade on Yemen.
