Southern Giants Brigades forces have destroyed a vehicle carrying a Houthi leader and several escorts in the strategic Kahbob front in Lahj Governorate, overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The media center for the brigades reported the incident early Monday, releasing footage documenting the targeting of the vehicle. The strike resulted in its destruction and the death of the Houthi leader along with 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 occurred concurrently with airstrikes conducted by government forces' fighter jets and drones. Military sources indicated that these strikes targeted Houthi militia sites, gatherings, weapons depots, and reinforcements in several fronts within Taiz Governorate and the Kahbob region. The Kahbob 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 shipping lanes. |
