Yemen’s internationally recognised government says its forces have recaptured positions from Houthi forces in Lahij governorate in the south-west of the country, Al Jazeera reports.
“Our armed forces have succeeded in recapturing positions in the al-Khazzan al-Ahmar area on the al-Nusayrah front in the al-Sawalihah sub-district of the al-Maqatirah district in northern Lahij governorate, and have repelled the terrorist Houthi militias,” the government forces’ media centre says in a social media post.
It adds that forces were engaged in fighting with Houthis in the Mu’ayq and An’an areas of the al-Maqatirah front.
The media centre has also reported that forces have repelled a Houthi advance towards the Al-Kurbah and Hijat al-Abd front in northern Lahij.
