Yemeni Government Forces Say They Repelled Houthi Attacks in Taiz
Government-aligned forces reported dozens of Houthi fighters killed during fighting for strategic highlands in southwestern Yemen.
Forces aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government said they repelled attacks by Houthi fighters in Taiz province, reporting dozens of Houthi casualties during battles for strategic highland positions, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The report describes fighting concentrated in the southwestern governorate, with government forces claiming to have held their positions against the offensive.
Al Jazeera's report attributes the casualty figures to government sources, and does not include an independent verification of the death toll or a response from Houthi representatives.
Taiz has been a recurring flashpoint in Yemen's prolonged conflict, with control over surrounding highlands seen as strategically significant for both government and Houthi forces.
The latest fighting adds to a pattern of intermittent clashes in the area, which has seen repeated rounds of conflict since Yemen's civil war began years earlier.
