Houthis-Yemeni Forces Clashes Spark Dozens of Houthis Detention
(MENAFN) Yemeni government forces have reportedly detained dozens of Houthi fighters during fighting in Al Hudaydah province in western Yemen, according to a government official on Saturday.
Fayyad al-Numan, assistant undersecretary at Yemen’s Information Ministry, said government troops captured “dozens of members of the terrorist Houthi militia” during clashes in Al-Jarahi district in southern Al Hudaydah.
Images circulated online by activists also reportedly showed individuals identified as Houthi fighters being held by government forces in the province.
The Houthis had not issued an immediate response to the claims by 1400GMT.
In a later development, reports citing a military source said government forces had “fully liberated Hays district in Al Hudaydah province from the control of the Iran-backed Houthi militia after retaking and securing the district’s rural areas.”
The military source also said troops had regained control of locations near the Al-Barh junction in western Taiz and continued moving toward Houthi-held positions. Houthi fighters reportedly withdrew from the area, leaving dozens of people dead or wounded.
Hays is considered strategically important because it connects Al Hudaydah and Taiz in western Yemen with Ibb province in the country’s central region.
Earlier on Saturday, military media affiliated with the government-aligned National Resistance Forces reported that its units had intercepted and destroyed two Houthi attack drones in southwestern Taiz province.
