Yemeni forces seize strategic Numan mountain range in Lahj from Houthis

Yemeni government forces captured the Numan mountain range in Lahj province, which overlooks Al-Wazi'iyah and Al-Mudarabah districts, following clashes with Houthi militants. The move shifts local control in a long-running conflict, but the strategic impact is limited to the immediate area. The claim is based on a single military source and lacks independent corroboration.
