JAWF (Debriefer)--The spokesperson for the government's sixth military command, Rabia' Al-Qirshi, on Saturday denied reports that a Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen has withdrawn its military equipment and weapons from the northeastern provinces of Marib and Jawf.
Such reports were baseless and rumors, he said.
"Nothing has changed. The coalition forces are still stationed in their positions in the two provinces and continuing their support to the government forces across Yemen," he wrote on Twitter.
The national forces repelled Houthi assaults and launched counterattacks in the past 48 hours, advancing towards the Jawf Intersection and Al-Labinat Military Camp and in other warfronts in Jawf, he said.
Battles raged between the two sides on Saturday, coinciding with Saudi-led airstrikes against Houthi positions, reinforcements and gatherings in several areas.
