Shabwa Defence Forces foil Houthi attack on Murkha al-Ulya front

Shabwa, Yemen ·

Shabwa Defence Forces said they repelled a Houthi attack on the Murkha al-Ulya front after fighting that caused losses among the attackers. The force also said it thwarted an attempt to advance toward its positions.

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, while forces loyal to the internationally recognised government hold parts of the south and east, and fighting between the sides has continued on several fronts for years.
