DUBAI: Yemen’s army launched “a fierce attack” on Iranian-backed Houthi militia positions on the outskirts of Qanya district between the provinces of Al-Bayda and Marib, Saudi state-news channel Al-Ekhbariya reported on Saturday.
According to a Yemeni military source, the attack targeted militia positions close to the border near the Directorate of Sawadiyah in Al-Bayda, which is the militia’s headquarters in the province.
According to a Yemeni news agency, the attack came after a period of calm in the region following the Yemeni army’s liberation of Qanya market and other strategic positions.
Al-Ekhbariya also reported that Arab coalition aircraft launched air strikes targeting Houthi military positions in the strategic area of Yispel, which resulted in several deaths and injuries among Houthi militants as well as the destruction of a tank, weapons and ammunition.
