The criminal militia launched an attack from its advanced positions in Al-Thoukhab sector, northeast of Al-Hasha district, with RPGs and medium and light machine guns, and the units of the southern forces succeeded in defeating them.
The southern forces pushed the terrorist Houthi militia to retreat and encircled it with fire, forcing it to withdraw quickly and indiscriminately after its members suffered deaths and injuries.
