Yemen's Armed Forces Reject Saudi-Backed Claims of Advances

Yemen's Armed Forces have dismissed claims of advances by Saudi-backed forces, stating that they maintain full control over all battlefield gains. In a statement on Tuesday, spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said, "What the enemy is promoting as victories is nothing but imaginary heroics intended to please its masters, just like its malicious tactics, which our people are well aware of, whether along the western coast or elsewhere."

The statement reported that more than 200 Saudi-backed forces have been killed or wounded over the past several hours in dozens of strikes targeting their movements in Ras al-Arah and al-Saqiya. It described the losses among the Saudi mercenaries as unprecedented in all previous confrontations, both in personnel and military vehicles.

Additionally, Yemeni forces carried out dozens of strikes in the eastern part of al-Jawf Province, targeting Saudi military concentrations and inflicting large numbers of casualties while destroying and setting several vehicles ablaze. The Yemeni forces also conducted strikes against Saudi military concentrations east of Ragwan in Marib Province, killing and wounding several personnel and setting a number of vehicles on fire.

According to Mehr News, the statement highlighted the ongoing operations along the western coast and in other regions, underscoring the Yemeni forces' continued resistance. The report added that the Saudi-backed forces' claims were rejected as baseless, with the Yemeni military affirming its control over the situation.
