Government forces retake two positions in Taiz and fight on Lahij fronts

Taiz, Yemen ·

Government forces said they retook two military positions from Houthi control in Taiz governorate, as fighting renewed on several fronts there. Clashes also broke out in the Maqatra district of Lahij governorate, where the Houthis were attempting to advance and shelling hit residential areas.

Yemen has been divided since 2014 between the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north, and forces loyal to the internationally recognised government.
