Ten Houthi gunmen were killed and seven others were captured in repulsing their attempts to attack Hajoor tribes' sites northwest Hajjah province.
A tribal source said the Houthi militias tried to attack on Saturday evening tribal sites in Mandala area and neighboring villages, explaining that the Houthis used various types of weapons, including artillery shelling and tanks.
He asserted that the tribal fighters repelled their attack valiantly and managed to break the Houthis' attack with their light weapons, inflicting the armed militias heavy losses.
The Houthi militias tried to storm Hajoor's Mounts during a period of two weeks and launched multiple attacks without any field results.
In recent days, Arab Coalition fighters have launched air strikes on Houthi militias' positions to support Hajoor tribes.
