A prominent leader in Ansarullah confirmed that Yemeni military forces have imposed full military control over a strategic area while repelling an advance by Saudi-led coalition factions in the Harib front, south of Ma’rib province.
Abdullah al-Naami, a member of the Ansarullah Political Bureau, also confirmed that Sana’a forces have fully seized control of the Al-Jafarah area after intense clashes with factions that lasted for several hours.
In a post on his X account, Al-Naami said that the liberation of the Al-Jafarah area and its control constituted “a severe blow to the coalition forces.”
He pointed out that the Al-Jafarah area had been a crucial stronghold for the coalition factions in southern Marib’s oil region.
On Monday, the UAE-backed factions such as the Al-Amaliqa and the so-called “Sab’aa Axis”, attempted to advance towards the strategic Mount Malaa in the range separating Harib and Jubah districts south of Ma’rib, Yemen Press Agency reported on Monday.
The information indicated that Yemeni revolutionary government forces, after fierce confrontations, successfully repelled the advance of UAE-affiliated factions, launching a counter-attack that forced them to withdraw towards their strongholds in Ain district of Shabwah province.
The UAE factions suffered casualties and substantial material losses in equipment and supplies.
The complete control over the strategic Al-Jafarah area was achieved due to its location between the Harib and Al-Abdiyah districts.
