Soldier Killed by Houthi Drone Strike in Southern Yemen

A government forces soldier was killed on Monday by a drone strike attributed to Houthi militia forces in the Al-Hadd front of Yafa'a district in the Lahj governorate, southern Yemen.

Field sources indicated that the soldier was targeted while performing his duties at a military position along the front lines. The sources noted that the Houthi shelling is part of a continuous escalation targeting military positions and civilian infrastructure in the region.

The sources further stated that Houthi militia forces have recently intensified their use of drones and shelling against government troop positions, constituting repeated violations of the truce. This escalation poses a significant threat of increased tension and further casualties among both military personnel and civilians.

This development in the Al-Hadd front occurs amidst ongoing military tensions across several fronts in southern Yemen. Concerns are mounting regarding the potential impact of these recurring attacks on local stability and the cessation of hostilities.
