RNA - Beginning with the Jizan region, the Yemeni forces were able to inflict heavy damage on the Saudi military’s positions near the Alib Crossing, the AMN reported.

The Houthi forces would then launch a powerful attack on the strategic Al-Dukhan Mountain, which is where they managed to score a big advance earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, in the Najran province, the Houthi forces struck the Saudi Army’s defenses in the Sudis and Al-Shabakah areas; this resulted in a short battle on Sunday.

The Houthi forces intensified their field operations in southern Saudi Arabia after the Arab Coalition resumed their powerful assault on the port-city of Hodeidah.

The Hodeidah Port is the humanitarian lifeline for the Ansarullah-controlled areas in Yemen if lost, it would leave millions under a land, air, and sea siege.
