Yemeni Government Forces Claim Control of Strategic Mount Qarfan in Taiz
Yemeni government forces, supported by local fighters, have claimed full control of Mount Qarfan in southern Taiz province after clashes with Houthi fighters. The strategic mountain offers a tactical advantage due to its high ground and observation capabilities over surrounding valleys. Fighting in the area is part of ongoing conflict in western Yemen, with the Houthis yet to respond to the reported loss. The capture strengthens government positions amid broader regional tensions linked to the US-Israel-Iran conflict.
