Aden, Newsyemen:
The Yemeni newspaper “Al-Sharea” revealed that the Houthi militia, received a lightning defeat at the hands of the Jadaan tribes, in a battle they called the battle of revenge for the mother of the martyrs, Fatima al-Aqra.
The results of the defeat were fatal, as the Houthis lost about 26 elements who had been killed or taken prisoner, as well as losses in military equipment, and the expulsion of the militia from a number of locations in the hypothetical hypothesis of Nehm, according to the newspaper.
The martyr Fatima al-Aqraa was killed in an artillery shelling launched by the militia last Thursday on her house in the Madghel district, north of Ma'rib Governorate, and 3 of her daughters were injured, and this resulted in Fatima catching her five sons who were killed in previous battles with the militias.
The newspaper says that the martyrdom of Fatima provoked the revolt of her family and her tribe, the Al-Aqra family, so she mobilized and hired her great tribe.
On Sunday evening, the Al-Jadaan men, backed by the army units, launched a lightning attack and surprising attacks on the militia's positioning centers in the Nahj al-Ataq front with the assumption of Nahham, which resulted in the liberation of 4 strategic sites and the militias inflicting heavy losses, according to the newspaper.
The tribes also captured the brigadier general, Hussein Hussein Sabri, who had been installed by the militia as commander of the 314 armored brigade, along with 10 fighters, as well as the deaths of 15 Houthis.
