Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni reports an attack begun on Sunday evening in Kuhlan was repelled
Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni, citing unnamed field sources, said government forces and popular resistance fighters repelled a Houthi attack from more than 6 directions and forced the attackers to withdraw. The report describes fighting that began at sunset on Sunday and continued into the night; clashes in Kuhlan had already been reported before this window. The new element is the claimed outcome, not evidence of a second attack. We could not independently verify the withdrawal or the number of attack directions, and the report gives no specific casualty tally.
