Yemeni military sources reported on Sunday, June 15, 2025, that army units successfully repelled a hostile attack by Iran-backed Houthis in the Huwaishiyan front of Jawf governorate, northeastern Yemen.
In a statement released by the Armed Forces Media Center, military sources indicated that army forces thwarted an infiltration attempt by Houthi elements. The Houthis, under heavy cover from artillery, shells, drones, and intense medium and heavy weapon fire, were attempting to advance and establish new positions and fortifications.
Sources confirmed that army units handled the assault with high efficiency, inflicting heavy losses in lives and equipment on the Houthis, and forcing them to retreat under concentrated strikes. One Yemeni army soldier was killed during the operation.
The statement added that army forces targeted Houthi artillery emplacements used in the attack, neutralizing the enemy artillery and resulting in casualties among the terrorist elements at the targeted site.
