Houthi forces advance and shell Taiz amid ongoing siege

Houthi forces are fighting to expand control around Taiz, subjecting the besieged city to ongoing artillery and rocket bombardment following earlier advances along the Red Sea coast. The offensive has prompted civilians in southwestern Yemen to flee their homes once again. The full extent of territorial control and casualty figures remain unconfirmed.
