Fierce clashes in Maqatra, Lahij: government forces fight fierce battles against the Houthi militia

Lahij, Yemen ·

Clashes between government forces and Houthi fighters are continuing on fronts in Maqatra district north of Lahij, with fighting intensifying in the highlands and mountain positions.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of the north, while government forces hold other areas, and fighting along front lines between them has been intermittent since the Houthis took the capital in 2014.
