塔伊兹政府下属的围困事务办公室于周五晚间在一份声明中表示，胡塞武装对该省南部的萨比尔阿尔莫瓦迪姆区进行了炮击，造成3名平民死亡。
The government-run Office of Siege Affairs in Taiz said in a statement late Friday that three civilians were killed when the Houthis shelled the Sabir al-Mawadim district south of the province.

该办公室表示，胡塞武装还对塔伊兹南部的阿尔沙卡布地区和西部的阿卡卡发动了独立的炮击，导致5名平民受伤，其中包括两名女性。

也门军方周五表示，塔伊兹军事轴心称，经过持续约8小时的冲突，也门军队击退了胡塞武装对塔伊兹南部阿尔沙卡布前线的大规模进攻，打死16名胡塞武装人员并打伤多人。
On Friday, the Yemeni army said it had repelled a large-scale Houthi attack on the al-Shaqab front south of Taiz following clashes that lasted around eight hours, killing 16 Houthi fighters and injuring others, according to the Taiz Military Axis.

这些事态发展正值7月开始的军事升级之际，这是自20世纪2022年4月生效的联合国斡旋停火带来相对平静期以来最重大的一次升级。
The developments come amid a military escalation that began in July, the most significant since a period of relative calm followed a UN-brokered truce that took effect in April 2022.
自胡塞武装于2014年9月夺取首都萨那和多个省份以来，也门一直陷入冲突，促使沙特阿拉伯领导的联军于2015年3月进行干预，以支持国际承认的政府。
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
