35th Armoured Brigade claims recaptured positions and Houthi prisoners southeast of Taiz
Al-Sahil al-Gharbi quoted the 35th Armoured Brigade as announcing a counterattack in Duhaih Kahlan and Duba al-Aqroud, which it said retook Al-Ikam and Al-Ulba positions. A separate report quoted the brigade as claiming an unspecified number of Houthi fighters had been captured after an infiltration attempt in Al-Karif and Al-Sharaf in Al-Aqroud was repelled. The new element is the detail in the military account following earlier reports of fighting; we could not access the original Facebook statement or independently verify control or captures, and unspecified losses are not added to a new toll.
