TAIZ-SABA

Yemeni government forces repelled a Houthi infiltration attempt in southeastern Taiz on Sunday after destroying a militia vehicle with artillery fire, leaving several militants dead or wounded.

A military source told Saba that troops from the 35th Armored Brigade detected the vehicle as it approached army positions near Al-Furqan School in the Al-Sa'ila area below Al-Selouw uphill road.

The source said artillery units engaged the target before it reached the front line, destroying the vehicle and inflicting casualties on the Houthi force.

The attempted infiltration was thwarted without the attackers reaching their objective, the source added, stressing that government forces remain fully prepared to respond to any further Houthi attacks across the Taiz front.
