The southern forces incurred heavy losses on the Houthi militia today, after they repelled a surprise attack by Iran's arm in Yemen for the first time in months towards the Al-Musimir district in the border province of Lahj.

A military source told "Newsyemen" that the Houthi militia attacked with heavy and medium weapons the Habeel Hanash Thamran border front west of Al-Musimir district, which caused violent battles to break out.

It explained that forces from the Tenth Brigade, Sa'iqa, stationed at the Habeel Hanash Thamran front, responded to the Houthi attack, which resulted in dozens of dead and wounded militia ranks.

Southern forces also succeeded in destroying a vehicle belonging to the Houthi militia that they were using in an attempt to penetrate the front lines.

The Houthi militia tries to achieve any progress towards the south through its sudden attacks in Al-Dhalea and Lahj, but the southern forces always look out for them and all their plans fail.
