Yemeni Forces Only 2 Kilometers Away from Ma’rib - Tasnim News Agency

 (Tasnim) – Yemeni army and Popular Committees forces advanced to as far as only two kilometers from the strategic west-central city of Ma’rib, the gateway to potential liberation of much more of their homeland amid an ongoing Saudi Arabia-led aggression.

The Unews website, which covers regional developments, especially those of Yemen, reported the victory on Tuesday, saying the forces were now only two kilometers (1.2 miles) away from the city’s entrance.

Yemeni military sources said the lightning advances had taken the ranks of Saudi-led mercenaries apart, forcing them to move their military equipment outside the city and try to set up some bases there.

Leading a coalition of its allies, Saudi Arabia started a war against Yemen in 2015 to try to return the impoverished country’s rule to its own favorite officials there.
