Yemeni forces seize new positions in Al-Maqatirah front, Lahij

Yemeni National Shield and Giants Brigades have recently advanced their positions in Al-Maqatirah, Lahij, as reinforcements bolstered their defenses. According to Al Arabiya, these military reinforcements bolstered the National Shield Forces and Giants Brigades' presence on the Al-Maqatirah front, located in the northwest of Lahij province.

This move was prompted by a recent escalation in Houthi military activities in the region. Al Arabiya also revealed that the Giants Brigades and National Shield Forces had gained control over new territories on the Al-Maqatirah front in Lahij. Simultaneously, the Yemeni Armed Forces—First Emergency Brigade—reclaimed control of several military sites and strategic high ground east of Al-Hazm city in Al-Jawf.

This was achieved after intense battles that forced the Houthi militants to retreat from those positions. In the course of these clashes, the armed forces managed to seize a cache of weapons and ammunition that the Houthis had been using before their withdrawal from the vicinity of the Dahidha mountains. The Yemeni Armed Forces Media Center reported that these confrontations resulted in the destruction of multiple vehicles and armored units, along with the loss of dozens of Houthi lives and the capture of additional individuals.
