The spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, giving details about the ‘Al-Nasr Al-Mubin Operation’, said large swaths of territory had been cleared of foreign mercenaries within four days.

In his Eid message, the head of Yemen's supreme political council called on the UN to re-calibrate its position on the war in Yemen and to end the policy of double standards

During the 72-hour operation, Yemeni armed forces killed and wounded hundreds of Daesh and Al-Qaeda mercenaries, and seized a large cache of weapons from their possession.

A high-ranking Omani government delegation visited the Yemeni capital last week, and held talks with the Ansarullah leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

“These soldiers have refused to take part in the war, to bomb Yemeni civilians, to destruct Yemeni infrastructure, or to carry out the scorched-earth policy in Yemen which is pursued from time to time.”

Saudi top-brass under the impression that they would win the war against Yemen are now faced with the double whammy of the Yemeni Ansarullah Movement gaining ground steadily and the increasing number of low-spirited forces who are sick and tired of a meaningless war.

Yemen’s Ansarallah movement says it will continue its military operations in Marib until the liberation of the city.
