Houthi Militia Destroys Key Bridge North of Taiz

A powerful explosion rocked the northeastern outskirts of Taiz city on Thursday afternoon, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air after Houthi militia forces detonated the Kanab Al-Rous bridge.

Local sources confirmed that the blast was the result of a deliberate act by the Houthi militia, targeting the vital bridge that connects the area. The detonation produced a loud explosion that was heard across extensive regions, with residents witnessing the ascent of smoke from the incident site.

Reports suggest that the Houthi militia carried out this act of destruction amid concerns over potential advances by government forces towards their positions in the northeastern front of Taiz Governorate.

The demolition of the bridge is understood to be an effort to impede troop movement and curtail any anticipated military operations in the area.
