Yemeni military media released combat footage on October 25, 2026, documenting defensive operations that repelled an assault by Saudi-backed forces in Marib’s Al-Fulaiha and Al-Radha fronts, while simultaneous cross-border operations targeted military positions in Jizan, Najran, and Asir.
The latest field reports and military broadcasts detail a series of clashes across southern Marib and the southern border regions of Saudi Arabia. Yemeni forces utilized artillery, Katyusha rockets, and guided anti-tank Kornet systems to dismantle attacking formations, according to field coverage from Marib.
Defensive Clashes and Drone Seizures in Southern Marib
The escalation in Marib centered on attempted advances by Saudi-backed forces into the Al-Fulaiha and Al-Radha fronts. Military broadcasts showed that defenders employed a swift counter-offensive tactic, drawing advancing units into targeted kill zones.
Operations in the area operated under the local direction of Saudi officer Brig. Gen. Faris Al-Shammari, as noted in reports detailing the Marib engagement. Sustained artillery and rocket fire destroyed multiple armored vehicles, forcing surviving fighters to withdraw and leave casualties behind.
During the same engagements, combat documentation from the front lines confirmed the downing and seizure of between 11 and 15 reconnaissance and surveillance drones across both axes, alongside captured weaponry from positions held by coalition-aligned forces for years.
Border Operations Across Jizan, Najran, and Asir
Beyond the Marib front lines, military operations extended to border positions and encampments inside Saudi territory. Armed forces targeted troop concentrations at the Dagharir camp in Jizan with ballistic missiles, resulting in direct impacts, according to an official statement from the armed forces spokesperson.
The armed forces managed, thanks to God, to target the Saudi enemy mobilizations in the Dagharir camp in Jizan with a number of ballistic missiles.
The missile strike on the Dagharir camp produced numerous casualties, sending ambulances rushing to the site amid disorder among enemy ranks, as detailed in reporting from the Sanaa-based news agency. Concurrently, military media distributed footage showing precise drone strikes using Rajoum unmanned aerial vehicles against officers, soldiers, and equipment across the frontier sectors of Najran, Jizan, and Asir, documented in coverage from international wire monitors and regional reporting networks.
