Place: Jabal Numan and Dar al-Kafir (overlooking Al-Wazi'iyah, Taiz and Al-Mudarabah, Lahj) Happened: Twenty-fourth of September Pro-government forces, backed by Popular Resistance, Giants Brigades and local tribesmen, seized control of the strategic Numan mountain range, including the summit of Jabal Numan and the nearby Dar al-Kafir position in Lahj, after clashes with Ansarallah (Houthis), the Nation’s Shield Forces said. The Nation’s Shield Forces said its units carried out a rapid military operation and took the summit and Dar al-Kafir. Ahlulhaqqn reported that pro-government forces, supported by local tribesmen, recaptured Jabal Numan and Dar al-Kafir — positions that overlook the Al-Wazi'iyah district in Taiz and Al-Mudarabah in Lahj — after Houthi fighters fled when their positions were encircled and stormed early in the morning. Ahlulhaqqn said the Houthis withdrew from the area. Middle East Monitor said Yemeni government forces announced they seized the Numan mountain range in Lahj following clashes, and attributed the reporting to Anadolu. The three accounts agree that pro-government-aligned forces now hold Jabal Numan and Dar al-Kafir. Ahlulhaqqn and the Nation’s Shield Forces say Houthi fighters fled or withdrew after encirclement and storming; the Nation’s Shield Forces additionally said the operation was rapid and named the Giants Brigades and Popular Resistance as participants. Ahlulhaqqn reported withdrawal; the Nation’s Shield Forces reported seizure after clashes. No source provided figures for killed or wounded, and there is no independent confirmation of equipment losses.
