The terrorist Houthi militia continues its military escalation against the areas of Shabwa Governorate, southeast of the country, amid failed attempts to make any field progress in areas where the Giants Brigades and Shabwa Defense Forces are stationed.
Military sources in Shabwa Defense Forces stated: The Houthi militia launched a large-scale attack on areas belonging to Upper Markha district, northwest of Shabwa Governorate.
The militias attempted to target sites where the forces of the Giants Brigades and Shabwa Defense Forces are stationed, in an attempt to control the “Hilla” mountains, a mountain range linking Shabwa with areas belonging to Al-Bayda Governorate.
According to the sources, fierce battles involving heavy and medium weapons took place between the two sides, as the southern forces were able to defeat the advance of the Houthi militia and break it causing the militias a number of losses in their members.
Local sources in Al-Bayda indicated that a prominent leader belonging to Al-Rasas tribe was killed and a number of his companions were wounded, following the failed Houthi attack on the outskirts of upper Markah in Shabwa.
