A new major victory has been achieved by the Yemeni army against the Saudi-backed forces in Yemen’s oil-rich province of Ma'rib.

Yemen's armed forces have recaptured the strategic Rahabah district in the southern Ma'rib, meaning that all supply routes linking al-Bayda and Ma'rib will be cut off from the Saudi-backed forces.

The Yemeni army has also managed to take control of other military sites, overlooking the city of Ma'rib from the western and northern sides, which would help the armed forces continue advancing towards the Harib and al-Juba areas.

For months now, the Yemeni army has been intensifying its military operations aimed at liberating the strategic Ma’rib province from the Saudi-backed forces, including terrorist groups.

Ma'rib has strategic importance as an oil-rich province. It is the last stronghold of Saudi Arabia in northern Yemen. Yemenis believe that their army will eventually liberate Ma'rib from all the foreign powers, including the Saudi-backed forces.

They say now, Riyadh has to bear the consequences of its disregard for Ansarullah's recent initiative to end the ongoing crisis in Yemen.
