On Saturday, the Houthi forces – backed by the Yemeni Army’s 33rd and 48th brigades of the Republican Guard – liberated a large chunk of territory between the cities of Taiz and Dhubab after launching a counter-attack against the Saudi-led Coalition.
According to the Yemeni news site “Al-Jabhat“, over 80 enemy combatants were killed during the Houthi/Republican Guard counter-assault on Saturday, marking another stunning defeat for the Saudi-Coalition in Taiz.
Among the dead fighters from the Saudi-led Coalition and National Army (Hadi loyalists) was Brigade General Mohammad ‘Abdullah Al-‘Aouni of the 35th Brigade.
Prior to the counter-assault by the Houthis and Yemeni Army, the Saudi Coalition and Al-Qaeda were on the offensive in Taiz; however, they were only able to make minimal gains, despite conducting several attacks inside the provincial capital.
