Yemeni government forces seize full control of strategic Huwishyan mountains

Yemeni government forces have taken full control of the strategic Huwishyan mountain range, east of Al-Jawf’s provincial center, following battles with Houthi militants and with heavy air support from the coalition. At the same time, joint Yemeni forces repelled a Houthi attack in the Al-Zariqah front, northwest of Lahj province.

Military sources told Al Arabiya and Al Hadath that the capture of the Huwishyan mountains came after clashes between government troops and the Houthis, while coalition aircraft targeted Houthi positions, movements, and reinforcements along the eastern battlefronts.

On the Al-Zariqah front in Lahj province, joint Yemeni forces managed to repel a Houthi assault targeting the Al-Zariqah area in the Al-Majzaa front, part of the Al-Mudaraba axis bordering the Al-Wazi’iyah axis in southwestern Taiz province.

Al Arabiya and Al Hadath reported from the front lines that Houthi fighters infiltrated the village of Al-Zariqah in an attempt to seize it, but Yemeni forces targeted them and their vehicles with gunfire, inflicting casualties and equipment losses, forcing the Houthis to withdraw from the area’s high ground.
