Yemeni Armed Forces Recapture Strategic Positions in Lahj and Repel Houthi Offensives in Marib

Yemeni Armed Forces have successfully recaptured several military positions in the Kahboub mountains and the Sawalha region across the Al-Madaribah and Al-Maqatirah fronts in Lahj Governorate, following a multi-hour engagement that resulted in significant casualties and material losses for Houthi militia forces.

Military sources confirmed that clashes intensified in the Al-Majzaa front of Lahj as the Houthi militia deployed reinforcements to the area in a strategic attempt to bolster their defensive lines. Simultaneously, in Taiz Governorate, government forces conducted targeted artillery strikes against Houthi concentrations in the Naqil region of Mount Sabr, inflicting further casualties on the group, while other fronts in the province remained under a state of cautious calm.

In Marib, government forces repelled a major offensive launched by the Houthi militia on the Halhalan front, west of the Raghwan district. The engagement involved active participation from combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing regional hostilities.

Reports from military officials indicate that the confrontations in Marib resulted in casualties on both sides. Combat operations have persisted across the northern and northwestern fronts of the governorate for the fifth consecutive day.

These developments reflect a broader pattern of sustained military escalation across multiple Yemeni governorates, as the Houthi militia continues to launch recurring offensives against government-held positions, further complicating the precarious security landscape in the region.
