Translated Text: South Yemen.. Southern Soldier Killed and 5 Injured in Houthi Attack in Shabwa A southern soldier was killed and five others were injured with varying wounds early Tuesday, as a result of shelling carried out by the Houthi group on a military site for the Southern Forces between Shabwa and Marib governorates. Military sources said the Houthis targeted a site affiliated with the Fifth Infantry Brigade in the "Shabwa Defense" forces in the Beihan directorate west of Shabwa, which borders the Harib directorate in Marib, using "mortar" type artillery shells. The sources clarified that the shelling resulted in the killing of a southern soldier and the injury of five others, who were transferred to hospitals in the city of Ateq to receive treatment. THWARTING AN ATTACK WEST OF SHABWA Meanwhile, the governmental "Saba Axis" forces announced that they repelled an attack launched by Houthi elements on military sites in the upper Murkha directorate west of Shabwa, which borders Al Bayda governorate. The Axis's media center confirmed that forces of the Second Brigade managed to thwart the attack after clashes that lasted for hours, leading to the attackers' retreat and inflicting human and material losses on them. REINFORCEMENTS ON THE FRONT LINES Over the past weeks, the Houthi group has pushed human and military reinforcements to the front lines with the Southern and governmental forces, in a move considered the largest in two years, especially toward the western coast and the governorates of Marib and Shabwa, in an attempt to reshape the field equation in Yemen.
