Southern Giants Brigades forces have destroyed a vehicle carrying a Houthi leader and several escorts in the strategic Kahbub front in Lahj Governorate, overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The media center of the brigades reported the incident early Monday, releasing footage documenting the targeting of the vehicle. The strike reportedly resulted in the vehicle's destruction and the death of the Houthi leader and his companions. The media center did not disclose the identity or rank of the targeted leader, nor did it specify the number of escorts killed in the operation. The operation coincided with airstrikes conducted by government forces' fighter jets and drones. According to military sources, these strikes targeted Houthi militia positions, gatherings, arms depots, and reinforcements in several fronts in Taiz Governorate and the Kahbub area. The Kahbub front holds significant military and geographical importance due to its proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, one of the world's most vital international maritime navigation routes. |
