Yemen’s government military forces have claimed a tactical victory in the Taiz region, asserting that they have gained full control of Mount Qarfan. According to Major General Abdulaziz al-Majidi, the takeover followed what he described as "fierce battles" between government troops and Houthi fighters.

In the official statement provided by government military leadership, the clash resulted in casualties for the Houthi forces, specifically citing five deaths and 20 injuries. The government claims this advancement is a significant move in the ongoing conflict within the Taiz province, which has been a long-standing site of contention between the two factions.

It is important to note that this report relies exclusively on information provided by the Yemen government military. There has been no independent verification of the casualty figures, nor has there been a public response or confirmation from Houthi leadership regarding the loss of the position. Because the information is sourced solely from one side of the conflict, the details regarding the intensity of the battle and the specific number of casualties remain unverified by neutral third-party observers.
