Many members of the Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, were killed or wounded, at midnight (Tuesday, Wednesday) after they were caught in the firing pliers of the joint forces and the southern resistance in the center of Wadi Sabira in the Dhalea province.

On the ground, military sources said that the units of the Joint Forces and the Southern Resistance stationed in the Sabira-al-Jubb sector before midnight had foiled a desperate attack by the terrorist Houthi militia towards their positions north of the al-Jubb camp and the Sabira Valley, southwest of Qataba district, in which the confrontations raged for about an hour and a half with light, medium and some heavy weapons.

According to the sources, the clashes erupted during the Houthi militia attempt to attack Wadi Sabira and the northern Al-Jubb camp supported by intense shelling from BMP artillery and mortar shells, but they failed and were broken after they suffered heavy losses among their attacking elements.

Earlier, the artillery of the joint forces and the Southern Resistance was able to target a vehicle belonging to the militias stationed northwest of the town of Sabira.

These developments come after a lull in the various fighting fronts north and northwest of Al-Dhalea during the past week days, with some firefights from time to time, at a time when the terrorist Houthi militia continues to strengthen its defensive fortifications by bringing in combat elements and equipment and distributing them in its various combat sectors in the southern governorate of Ibb, central Yemen.
