The Yemeni armed forces, backed by local tribes, have captured key positions in Lahij and made gains in Marib, following fierce clashes with Houthi militants. The Yemeni forces, supported by the Al-Subaiha tribes, gained strategic ground in the Al-Subaiha area of Lahij province, capturing the Bazala mountain and the Dahoura and Saybara positions on the Al-Aghbara front.
These victories came after hours of intense battles, with Houthi militants suffering losses in personnel and equipment. Meanwhile, in Marib province, Yemeni forces clashed with Houthi militants on the Mashjah front, advancing on the ground and forcing the Houthis to retreat after destroying several of their vehicles. On the southern front of Marib, army artillery thwarted Houthi infiltration attempts in Wadi Dhanna and Al-Balaq, while airstrikes targeted Houthi reinforcements and gatherings at the Um Rish camp and the former 26th Brigade camp in Al-Juba district, as well as positions in the Mala’a pass in Harib district.
The United Nations expressed concern over the suffering of civilians in Yemen due to Houthi attacks, recording around 19,000 cases of displacement and continuing to monitor civilian harm and verify testimonies.
