Yemeni forces say they have tightened their control over a strategic mountain peak in the country's Taiz province, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The peak, located in the Jabal Habashi district of Taiz, is described as the highest point in the district, giving whoever holds it a commanding vantage over the surrounding terrain. Taiz, one of Yemen's largest cities, has for years been a front line in the country's long-running conflict, with control of high ground in the surrounding mountains carrying significant strategic value for monitoring movement in the area.
The claim was reported as part of continuing coverage of regional conflict developments, amid wider tensions in the region.
Details on casualties, the exact timing of the advance, or confirmation from other parties involved were not included in the initial report. Independent verification of battlefield claims in Yemen's conflict is frequently difficult given limited access for journalists to active front lines.
The situation in Taiz remains closely watched, with the province's location between Yemen's Red Sea coast and the capital Sanaa making it a frequent flashpoint in the conflict.
