Al-Bayda, Newsyemen:
Fighting continued, for the third day in a row, on the Mushairef front between the governorates of Al-Bayda and Marib, amid a noticeable decline of the Houthi militia, following a series of victories achieved over the weekend.
A local source in Al-Bayda said that fierce battles continued until dawn today, Thursday, between members of the Qaifa tribe backed by Murad tribes and the Houthi militia in the village of Al-Hosoun in Qaiyfa, where the Houthi militia are fortified after their retreat during the past hours.
The raging confrontations between the two sides resulted, on Wednesday evening, for the Houthis to retreat from the upper Mushairef on the outskirts of the Rahba district in the Ma'rib governorate to the Al-Hosoun area and its environs in the Al-Bayda neighborhood, confirming - the source - that dozens of Houthis were killed and wounded, in addition to damaging a tank and BMB vehicle belonging to them.
He noted that the reinforcements of the Qaradah tribes (Murad) Luqifa changed the course of the battle, instead of the Houthis being attackers, they were forced to flee towards Yakla, and the resistance is now on the outskirts of the country of Al Tios, and if the attack continues, Yakla will be restored in the coming days.
