Lahj:Yemen's armed forces have targeted gatherings of Saudi-backed forces on several fronts in the southern province of Lahj, resulting in numerous casualties among the fighters.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, stated that the strikes successfully hit positions where Saudi-backed forces had assembled across various fronts in Lahj. The attacks were described as accurate and direct, leading to the destruction of several military vehicles.

The operation occurred less than 24 hours after a similar attack targeted gatherings of Saudi forces in the provinces of Lahj and Al-Jawf. This prior attack also resulted in a substantial number of casualties among Saudi-backed fighters. Saree emphasized that these operations underscore the Yemeni armed forces' intelligence capabilities in monitoring and striking opposing forces' positions.

Separately, it was reported by Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper on Friday that Yemeni armed forces had reached the coastline connecting the southern provinces of Aden and Lahj, located south of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
