On Saturday morning, the Armed Forces launched a significant operation against Houthi militia reinforcements in the Al-Tahita district, located south of Al-Hudaydah. This operation resulted in substantial losses for the militia, both in equipment and personnel.
Military sources reported that the First Tihama Brigade, part of the National Resistance Forces, targeted Houthi reinforcements and combat vehicles in the Al-Haymah area shortly after midnight. The militia had been preparing to launch a large-scale attack on positions north of Al-Khawkhah city.
The sources indicated that the militia had gathered dozens of fighters and vehicles near the front lines in Al-Haymah. However, their movements were closely monitored. Consequently, the First Tihama Brigade responded swiftly, using Katyusha rockets and artillery to strike these reinforcements, effectively thwarting the planned attack before it could commence.
The Armed Forces also targeted Houthi positions and gatherings in Al-Jabaliyah, northern Al-Haymah, and Al-Ghuwayriq. In retaliation, the militia launched artillery fire and deployed a drone towards the Armed Forces’ positions. However, the Armed Forces successfully intercepted the drone using an electronic jamming system.
Military sources noted that the militia had intended to execute a similar attack to one carried out about a month ago on Armed Forces positions in the Dabbas front, north of Al-Hays city. That previous assault faced strong resistance, resulting in heavy casualties for the militia.
The recent military actions underscore the ongoing conflict in the region and the determination of the Armed Forces to counter Houthi aggression. As tensions persist, both sides remain poised for further engagements in the coming days.
