In the same context, a military source in the third military region, who asked not to be identified, told the German News Agency (dpa), “Army forces repelled an armed attack by Houthi militias on the Al-Qasar front, west of Marib.”
The source indicated that the Houthi militia “launched an attack on army positions on the western front, trying to advance towards it, which led to the beginning of clashes between the two sides.”
