Yemeni armed forces kill 12 Houthis, repel infiltration in south Marib
Yemeni armed forces say they thwarted a Houthi infiltration in southern Marib, killing 12 militants and wounding others, with the rest fleeing.
Yemeni armed forces clashed with Houthi militants in southern Marib province, successfully thwarting an infiltration attempt and resulting in the deaths of 12 Houthis. The Yemeni Armed Forces Media Center confirmed the incident on X, stating that the Yemeni forces foiled the assault by the Iran-backed Houthi militia in the Al-Falihah sector.
According to the official statement, the clashes concluded with 12 Houthis killed, while others sustained injuries and fled the battlefield. Brigadier General Mohammed Al-Kumaim, a key advisor to the Yemeni Minister of Defense, revealed earlier today that Yemeni forces are engaging in counterattacks against the Houthis and achieving significant gains.
He emphasized that the Yemeni armed forces have moved past the repositioning phase and are now launching counteroffensives, having restored their readiness and reorganized their ranks. The general stressed that the rapid recovery of readiness is a major accomplishment for the forces, particularly after the losses they incurred on the western coast.
