The Yemeni army forces, backed by the Popular Committees, have on Thursday imposed full control over the asphalt road to Ma’rib city from the northwestern direction.
Local sources reported that the army and the Committees fought fierce battles against Saudi-led coalition forces during the past hours, during which they managed to control the asphalt road leading to the city, a few hours after clearing Al-Kassara front.
Sana’a forces repelled a large offensive of coalition invaders towards Al-Kassara, and forced them to flee to their locations in the Dash Al-Khashab area, the sources explained.
The coalition forces suffered heavy human and material losses as a result of the failed attack, during which Brigadier General Ahmed Qaid Al-Sharabi, commander of the so-called 117th Brigade, and all of his escorts were killed, the sources added.
