Nation Shield reports offensive against Houthi positions on al-Muhawalah front
Aden Al Ghad and Khabar Agency carried a Nation Shield Forces briefing saying units from the First Division’s Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Brigades attacked as part of Operation Dawn of Yemen. The briefing claimed deaths, injuries, equipment losses and fleeing Houthi fighters, without a specific toll. This is an account by a party to the fighting, and its repetition by the outlets is not independent corroboration. No independent evidence establishes the losses or a change of control.
