Taiz Clashes Leave Eight Houthi Fighters Dead, Fifteen Wounded
(MENAFN) Eight Houthi fighters are killed and another 15 injured during clashes with Yemeni government
forces in Taiz province on Tuesday, according to a military source.
The Yemeni Armed Forces’ media center says government troops successfully repel a Houthi
assault in the Al-Safa area of the Kalabah front, northeast of Taiz city in southwestern Yemen.
Heavy fighting breaks out during the confrontation, with both sides using various types of
weapons. The clashes result in deaths, injuries and the loss of military equipment among Houthi
forces, according to the statement.
No additional information is provided about the condition of the wounded fighters, while it also
remains unclear whether government forces suffer any casualties. The Houthis have not
immediately responded to the claims.
Yemen experiences a period of relative calm beginning in April 2022, following years of conflict
between government forces supported by a Saudi-led coalition and the Iran-backed Houthis. The
group takes control of Sanaa and large parts of the country in 2014.
Since late 2023, the Houthis have become more involved in regional tensions following the
outbreak of the Gaza conflict. The group launches attacks against Israel and commercial vessels
operating in the Red Sea, while renewed clashes in Yemen raise concerns that the country could
once again face a broader escalation.
