Four Yemeni Resistance Fighters Killed in Clashes With Houthis
(MENAFN) Four members of Yemen's government-aligned National Resistance Forces have been killed in clashes with the Houthis, the group's naval forces announced Tuesday.
The deaths occurred over the past several days as forces confronted what a statement described as "terrorist activities by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its allies in Yemen," a reference to the Houthis. The statement was carried by Al-Joumhouria television, a channel owned by Presidential Leadership Council member Tareq Saleh, who commands the Resistance Forces.
According to the statement, the naval personnel were killed while carrying out their duties, though it did not specify where or when the fighting occurred or offer further details on the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
The announcement comes as tensions escalate anew between Yemen's government forces and the Houthis in recent weeks, with the country still gripped by one of the world's most severe humanitarian and economic crises.
Yemen had experienced relative calm since 2022, following years of war between government forces and the Houthis, who have held Sanaa and other parts of the country since 2014. A Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen's internationally recognized government supports the state forces, while Iran is accused of backing the Houthis — who declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia in July.
