Yemen’s government-aligned forces said Saturday that they had repelled a Houthi attack in the southwestern province of Lahj, while state-run media reported airstrikes targeting Houthi reinforcements in the neighboring Taiz province.
The government-aligned Giants Brigades said they had “repelled a Houthi attack in the Al-Mudharaba district” in Lahj.
The forces posted a video on Facebook that they said showed Houthi fighters fleeing after the attack was repelled.
The forces’ statement came as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Friday that the ongoing military escalation has displaced more than 340,000 people since August.
