  "account": "Deputy Governor Abdulqawi Al-Mikhlafi of Taiz revealed that Houthi forces incurred significant casualties during their unsuccessful attempt to breach the Jabal Han front near Taiz. Al-Mikhlafi stated that the Houthi militias suffered heavy losses in their endeavor to advance towards the city of Taiz, emphasizing that the government forces would not allow them to reach the city, as they had in past attempts. In an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Mikhlafi disclosed that the government troops, bolstered by popular resistance forces, possess robust local backing and are resolute in their determination to thwart Houthi advances and impede their progress towards Taiz. He assured that Taiz would maintain its unwavering resilience against Houthi offensives. The deputy governor further revealed that the militias had deployed hundreds of artillery shells and utilized a variety of weapons during their assaults, but the government forces stood firm and managed to repel the attacks. He added that the militias would not be capable of reproducing their previous attempts to breach the city, asserting that government forces and the popular resistance would persist in countering any military maneuvers targeting Taiz. Al-Mikhlafi reminisced about earlier confrontations in the city, reminding that the militias would encounter the same consequences as in their previous endeavors and would ultimately fail to dismantle Taiz's resilience.",
