Clashes have continued between the Yemeni army of internationally-recognized President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi supported by Arab Coalition’s fighter jets on one hand and Houthi militias and forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh on the other hand. The Yemeni army announced that Arhab Directorate, near International Sana’a Airport, became under its control after the notable progress it achieved during the recent two days.

Yemeni military leader Mohamed Al Ashwal revealed that Beit Katish village of Arhab directorate became under the control of the Yemeni army, adding that the army and popular resistance loyal to the legitimate government controlled large swaths of Daboaa area. Arab Coalition’s fighter jets bombarded the strongholds of Houthi militias in the districts of Ashara and Mahali in addition to other sites of Naham Directorate.

A leading member of Republican Guard Ahmed Saleh Al Faquish loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed last month by an air raid from the Arab Coalition’s fighter jets in Naham front which is considered one of the major fronts that the Yemeni army works to storm to pave the way for liberating the Yemeni capital of Sana’a.
