The southern joint forces repelled, on Saturday night, multiple militia attacks, towards Al-Jub camp, north of Al-Dhale’ governorate.
A military source said that the Houthi militia launched intense attacks on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, in an attempt to advance towards Al-Jub camp, but the southern forces repelled the attacks and the Houthi militia sustained losses.
It pointed out that clashes erupted between the two parties in the Al-Fakher axis, Sabirah, Al-Jub camp, and Battar, leading to the Castle of Yarakh, in which various heavy and medium weapons were used.
According to the source, the southern forces thwarted the Houthi infiltration attempts, after fierce confrontations, in which the Houthis suffered casualties and destroyed mechanisms.
Southern forces artillery targeted Houthi reinforcements of the Houthi militia, in Naqil al-Khashaba, coinciding with the shelling of its positions in the Qurain Al-Fahad area.
