HODEIDA: Backed by the Saudi-led Arab Coalition, the Joint Yemeni Resistance Forces have foiled desperate infiltration attempts by the Iran-backed Al Houthi militia fighters into the Hodeida Airport, Mjalis and east of Hayes districts.
Tens of Al Houthis were killed after a desperate infiltration attempt into the Hodeida Airport, while a large number of them were wounded or captured by the Amalaqa Brigades forces during military operations in the southern ring of Hodeida. A number of the militia fighters fled the fronts, leaving behind weapons, equipment and bodies.
The Joint Yemeni Resistance Forces carried out a surprise military operation against Al Houthi fighters in the south of Tahita District, which destroyed their military capabilities and reinforcements, that recently reached them from Ibb and Dhamar districts.
The joint forces, in charge of securing the coastline, were able to clean Al Houthis pockets in Mjalis and reach the main road, where the militias were trying to cut supply lines from the resistance forces stationed at the airport.
Al Houthi militias also tried to carry out an infiltration attempt into the east of Hayes district in a bid to raise the deteriorating morale of their fighters due to the successive defeats in the battlefields.
The resistance forces countered the attack and killed most of the infiltrators amid mass fleeing of the rest.
Meanwhile, engineering teams cleared mines laid by Al Houthi militias in the coastal villages and farms of Al Himah, following a landmine blast that killed a child.
The teams not only deactivated tens of mines that had been threatening lives of innocent civilians but also seized a large number of landmines.
