Clashes resumed on Sunday between forces aligned with the internationally recognised Yemeni government and the Houthi movement in Hudaydah Governorate, western Yemen, according to a statement from the National Resistance Forces.
The military media office of the National Resistance Forces, led by Tariq Saleh, a member of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, said its forces detected what it described as Houthi troop movements near the 14^thInfantry Brigade sector in Jabal Dhubas and responded to them.
According to the statement, the National Resistance Forces engaged in fighting after Houthi forces advanced toward Jabal Dhubas, south of Hudaydah.
The statement further claimed that troops from the 14^thInfantry Brigade forced Houthi fighters to retreat after inflicting casualties. It did not provide figures for the reported losses, and the claims could not be independently verified.
There was no immediate comment from the Houthi movement regarding the reported clashes.
Earlier this month, on 5^th July, the Yemeni government said that 15 of its soldiers and 50 Houthi fighters were killed in clashes south of Hudaydah, describing them as the most intense fighting between the two sides since 2022.
The renewed fighting comes amid heightened tensions between the Yemeni government and the Houthis, with both sides continuing to exchange statements over the future of the conflict.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. Will I be replacing Andy Burnham for Starmer behind this speech bubble?
Keir Starmer explains that UK is actively supporting Israel’s genocidal expansion and repeats his previous quotation that he supports Zionism “without qualification”.
