A new failure suffered by the Houthi militia, which attempted to launch a ground attack in the Yemeni province of Lahj.

The Houthi militias attempted to launch an attack on Al-Musaimeer, northwest of Lahj Governorate, from their positions of control in the neighboring Taiz Governorate, but the attack failed.

The southern forces said in a statement seen by Al-Ain News that units of their forces “were able to repel a ground attack under the cover of heavy artillery shelling on their positions in the town of Al-Qurain on the border of Al-Musaimeer District in Lahj.”

The statement added, “The Houthi militias used various types of weapons in a massive attack and all their combat forces that they brought from areas of their control, to the combat axis that the coup plotters reactivated more than a week ago, in which they were subjected to a resounding defeat at the hands of units of the Giants and the Security Belt.

The statement continued, “The heroes of our southern forces faced that attack with an immediate and valiant response and inflicted on the enemy Houthi militias significant material and human losses,” stressing that the militias had once again received a “painful lesson” in response to their aggressive persistence.

During the past months, Al-Musaimeer has been the scene of suspicious cell movements of the Houthi militias in the district, which includes the Labouza camp overlooking a road leading to the Al-Anad military base, a “legendary base” established in the 1960s and extending over an area of ​​15 square kilometers.

The security belt in Al-Musaimeer succeeded in arresting many Houthi elements and pursuing others, but the Houthi militias responded by mobilizing their members and launched a surprise attack and penetrated the first towns of the district, before the Giants forces reinforced the southern units there and responded by liberating “Shawkan,” “Al-Adeeb,” and "Taksim" and "Al-Jabali" in Mawiyah, east of Taiz, and quickly deterring the militias.

Military officials in the southern forces say that the Houthi attacks in the Al-Dhalea, Lahj and Abyan axes coincide with other attacks by the terrorist Al-Qaeda organization in the Modiyah district, but all of them failed to achieve any progress.

These attacks come after Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the coup militias, vowed in one of his recent video speeches to escalate his ground operations on the front lines and openly courted Al-Qaeda in order to intensify his suicide attacks, in a mutual coordination that threatens the security of the region, according to experts.
