Military sources in Marib reported on Saturday the death of a Yemeni army soldier during confrontations with Iran-backed Houthis. The Yemeni army's official site, "September Net," indicated that the army forces thwarted several hostile attempts by Iran-backed Houthis in Marib and Al-Jawf, resulting in losses for the Houthis in both personnel and equipment.

The sources noted that the forces successfully repelled attacks by Iran-backed Houthis in "Raghwan" front, north of Marib, forcing them to retreat. Meanwhile, Houthis continued targeting army positions with heavy artillery, rockets, drones, and sniper rifles, according to military sources.

The army successfully damaged and destroyed heavy equipment belonging to Houthis in several fronts. Since the beginning of this year, Iran-backed Houthis have escalated their attacks in Yemen, raising concerns about an escalation in the conflict.
