Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Reports Advances in Eastern Al-Jawf

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on [date not provided] that Yemeni forces achieved what he described as significant gains in eastern Al-Jawf province. According to the Ansarullah-led media outlet Al-Ilam Al-Harbi, Saree stated that the armed forces succeeded in targeting and expelling Saudi-backed fighters from the eastern part of Al-Jawf. He said the fighters had failed to advance toward Yemeni positions and were subsequently targeted and defeated.

Saree listed several outcomes of the operation: a large number of vehicles belonging to the Saudi-backed forces were destroyed; dozens of enemy personnel were killed or wounded; fleeing fighters were pursued in the Al-Jawf desert; and enemy gatherings were targeted with ballistic missiles and drones. He did not provide specific figures for casualties or equipment losses.

In his statement, Saree also addressed the people of Al-Jawf and Marib, saying, "Peace be upon the people of Al-Jawf and Marib who stand by their people and country, by the side of the rightness, and by their armed forces in an effective and decisive confrontation with the enemy." He added that with divine help, they had neutralized the movements of the mercenaries, blocked their advances, destroyed them, and thwarted their plans and goals. He further claimed that the ambitions of the mercenaries were "buried in the deserts and valleys" and declared that "Yemen is free and proud."

The report did not specify the exact date of the operation or provide independent verification of the claims. The term "Saudi-backed mercenaries" is used by the Yemeni Armed Forces to describe forces opposing them in the conflict. The statement was disseminated by Al-Ilam Al-Harbi, a media outlet associated with Ansarullah.

According to Mehr News, which cited Al-Ilam Al-Harbi, the announcement is part of ongoing military communications from the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding operations in Al-Jawf province.
