Fighting continued between government forces and the Houthi militia on the Taiz and al-Maqtara fronts, north of Lahj, on Saturday, while the army announced an advance on the al-Jouf field. In Taiz, the military representative announced that the armed forces, with the support of the popular resistance, are conducting violent battles against the Houthis on the al-Akrud front, south of the city, without revealing the results of the clashes. On the al-Maqtara front, north of Lahj, violent clashes are taking place in the al-Maktara district, close to al-Rabou market and al-Maktara Castle, while government forces continue to impose their control on sites overlooking the Hijat al-Abd road, according to sources on the ground, after Houthi reports spread accusations of the militia's advance. Activists have published footage that they say documents some of the battles taking place near the market, noting the participation of the Giants Battalions and the National Guard forces in support of the army forces, in addition to the involvement of the people of al-Muktarah in the ranks of the resistance against the Houthis. In Al-Jouf, the spokesman of the army, Majed Al-Nuzaili, announced the achievement of the progress of the area and the control of control sites and heights, and indicated that the forces carried out 1,119 targeted operations on several fronts, which he said led to the neutralization of 427 Houthis and the destruction and damage of 142 vehicles and military equipment. These operations coincided with field sources reporting airstrikes on Houthi reinforcements and vehicles on several fronts, and the group's media acknowledged that areas under its control were subject to airstrikes. In Saudi Arabia, the Arab coalition announced the interception and destruction of three marches in the areas of Riyadh, the east and the south, and confirmed that one of them was launched by the Houthis, while shrapnel fell as a result of the interception of the Riyadh march, without causing any further casualties.
