Yemeni army strikes Saudi-backed forces in Lahj province, reports say

Yemen's army carried out a new missile attack on positions held by Saudi-backed forces in Lahj province, according to reports in Yemeni media cited by Mehr News. The reports did not specify the type of missiles used in the strike, nor did they provide information on possible damage or casualties resulting from the attack.

Lahj province lies in southwestern Yemen and has seen repeated military activity during the country's long-running conflict, with Saudi-backed forces and other armed groups operating in the area. The reported strike is the latest in a series of military actions attributed to Yemen's armed forces against positions linked to the Saudi-led coalition and its local allies.

The reports did not identify which specific units or locations within Lahj were targeted, and no party to the conflict issued an immediate statement on the outcome of the attack. Independent verification of the reported strike was not available.

Yemen has been mired in conflict for more than a decade, with the Saudi-led coalition intervening in 2015 against the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of the country's north, including the capital Sanaa. Fighting has continued across multiple front lines despite repeated diplomatic efforts to reach a lasting ceasefire.

According to Mehr News, the reports of the missile attack on Saudi-backed forces in Lahj did not disclose further details about the type of missiles used or possible damage and casualties.
