Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Yemeni forces repelled and targeted Saudi reinforcements in eastern Al-Jawf after attempts to advance in the area failed.

In a statement, Brig. Gen. Saree said the operation “resulted in the destruction of a large number of vehicles belonging to the Saudi reinforcements and the killing and wounding of dozens of personnel.”

He added that Yemeni forces pursued and captured the remaining personnel in the Al-Jawf desert, while targeting Saudi gatherings with ballistic missiles and drones.

The Yemeni military spokesman saluted the people of Al-Jawf and Ma’rib, praising their support for the Yemeni Armed Forces and their role in confronting what he described as enemy advances.

“With God’s help, our forces thwarted Saudi enemy’s movements, broke its advances, defeated its proxies, punished its agents, and foiled its plans and objectives,” Brig. Gen. Saree said.
