  "account": "Yemeni government forces have announced the successful capture of key positions in Taiz and Lahij, including the strategically important Jabal Numan, following a rapid military operation. The forces claim to have secured the summit of Jabal Numan, which overlooks crucial supply routes between Al-Wazi iyah and Al-Mudaraba districts. In addition, they report securing Wadi Al-Kafir and reinforcing security in surrounding areas. Military sources indicate that Houthi fighters withdrew from their positions, abandoning weapons and ammunition in the process. Earlier today, the Yemeni armed forces reported thwarting a Houthi infiltration attempt through the Ashboot and Najd Al-Bard regions in Lahij's Al-Maqatirah district, aimed at disrupting the primary supply route connecting Taiz to the interim capital, Aden.",
