Yemeni military forces have launched an assault on Saudi-backed militia members belonging to the Shabwah Defense Forces in the Bayhan district of Shabwah province on Monday. The new development unfolded just hours following new drone assaults by Yemeni army forces targeting the port city of Mokha in Yemen’s southwestern Ta’izz province. In a recent announcement, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, disclosed that Yemeni military units launched an offensive against Saudi-backed forces. Saree reported that the significant operation was carried out as the mercenaries engaged in a large-scale military buildup, gearing up to initiate assaults on Yemeni forces. The Yemeni Armed Forces have reported conducting several successful operations targeting vessels associated with Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea.
