A military source from the third military region stated that the Houthi militia launched an attack that lasted several hours on military positions in the Al-Mushajh front; however, the heroes of the national army and the resistance managed to repel the attack, forcing the militia to retreat and flee after inflicting heavy losses in equipment and lives, according to the Yemeni news agency.
