Fierce battles have continued on Thursday between the Yemeni army and Popular Committees on one side, and the Saudi-led coalition forces and their armed factions on another side, in the south of Ma’rib city, eastern Yemen.
The army forces carried out a successful operation, during which they were able to encircle the coalition troops and target them in Al-Faliha area between Abida valley and the eastern Balaq Mountains, according to tribal sources.
The sources indicated that intense coalition airstrikes failed to save the Saudi-led forces, which suffered huge losses in lives and military gear.
Many coalition officers and soldiers were killed, including field leaders Hamad bin Mohammed bin Waheet and Zayed bin Sultan Ta’iman.
