Marib, Newsyemen, Exclusive:
Violent battles continued between tribes and army forces on the one hand, and the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, on the other hand, on the various fronts of the Marib governorate in the east of the country.
In recent days, the Houthi militia was able to advance on the Serwah fronts, control the Al-Makhdarah front, open fronts in the districts of Medghal, Raghwan, and Majzar, and advance to many sites that were under the army's control.
And the legitimate forces failed to regain the sites it lost during the two weeks.
The coalition aircraft participated in dozens of raids targeting Houthi gatherings, destroying military equipment and killing dozens of Houthi militia.
Today, a tribal source confirmed to Newsyemen that 17 Houthi militia members were killed in air strikes launched by the coalition, preventing a new Houthi advance in Majzar district in the Marib governorate.
The source added that the raids targeted six military vehicles loaded with weapons and militia members, who were on their way to reinforce the Houthi fronts in the district.
