The forces of the Ansar Allah group (Houthis) have repulsed a large-scale assault of Yemeni internationally recognized government forces in the al-Dhalea governorate in southern Yemen from severaltracks, according to the group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree.
“With the help and support of God, a large-scale assault was repulsed from several paths toward our forces’ positions in in Bab Ghalaq in Al-Dhalea, continued from the early hours of dawn until today, ”he tweeted.
He added: "The enemy suffered heavy losses in lives and equipment, and more than 52 people were killed and injured in its ranks."
This comes after government forces confirmed earlier Monday their control over several strategic sites, in the Qaataba District, in Al-Dhalea governorate.
The media center of the Al-Dhalea front stated in posts on its Facebook account that the government forces backed by the "Southern Resistance" took control of the Kharaza, Al-Qurha, and northern parts of the village of Habil Al-Ebdi, in the Al-Fakher area, north of the Qaataba district.
The media center affirmed that government forces are close to controlling the strategic "Al-Hasahes" camp and the main road that separates the two districts of Qaataba (Al-Dhalea) and Al-Nadira (Ibb), which means cutting the supply lines to the Houthis.
