Yemen’s government-aligned forces say they have repelled a Houthi attack in the southwestern province of Lahj, while state-run media reports airstrikes targeting Houthi reinforcements in the neighbouring Taiz province, according to Anadolu.
The government-aligned Giants Brigades say they “repelled a Houthi attack in the Al-Mudharaba district” in Lahj. The forces have also posted a video on Facebook that they claim shows Houthi fighters fleeing after the attack was repelled.
The forces’ statement comes after the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said on Friday that the ongoing military escalation has displaced more than 340,000 people since August.
