Yemen's internationally recognised government says its forces repelled a Houthi assault south of the port city of Hodeidah in the most violent clashes in years.
At least 15 government personnel were killed in the battle at Jabal Dabbas, with more than 50 Houthi fighters reported dead and dozens wounded.
The Houthis control Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, including the strategic Red Sea port of Hodeidah, while the government controls much of the south.
A UN-brokered truce in 2022 significantly reduced large-scale fighting, though sporadic clashes have continued along frontlines.
