There is a lot of back-and-forth about who is winning the war in Yemen right now.
The Houthi group, which is backed by Iran, says they are still in charge of all the land they have taken. They are denying reports that they have lost ground to their enemies.
While the Houthis say they are holding their position, the fighting on the ground is very intense.
In a recent report, the Houthis claimed that they launched 20 strikes against Saudi-backed forces in the city of Taiz. They also claimed that they killed or hurt more than 200 of these fighters during a series of attacks.
These conflicting reports make it hard to tell exactly what is happening on the battlefield. The Houthis are insisting that they have firm control, even as other groups claim that the Yemeni government is making progress.
For now, the fighting continues and the situation remains unstable.
