Over the April 23-25 weekend, at least 65 fighters had been killed, as Yemen’s Ansar Allah (the Houthis) renewed their push on Marib city.
The Houthis have taken full control of the northwest Kassara battlefront and made progress on western front lines despite air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition.
This was reported by AFP, citing unnamed military sources.
Marib and its surrounding oilfields make up the last significant stronghold of the Saudi-led coalition in central and northern Yemen, the rest of which is under rebel control, including the capital Sanaa.
Yemen puppet government sources said the Houthis poured in hundreds of reinforcements in recent days to achieve the gains, resorting to motorcycles after the coalition targeted their military vehicles.
Yemeni government sources reported the death of Yemen’s military attorney general, Major General Abdullah al-Hadhiri, during the violent confrontations in Marib.
Hadhiri was reportedly killed while participating in the raging fighting between the army and the Houthis at the Al-Mashjah front, west of Marib city, according to Mohamed Qizan, a senior official at the information ministry in the Yemen puppet government.

“Major General Abdullah Al-Hadhiri, Director of the Military Judicial Department, meets his Lord as a glorified martyr while he is at the frontlines facing Houthi gangs at Al-Mashjah in Marib.”
As typical for any Houthi success, MSM and NGOs begin calling that a humanitarian disaster is incoming, as if Saudi Arabia’s frequent bombing of civilians and the blockade on al-Hudaydah isn’t causing one.
“The city’s fall could also lead to a humanitarian disaster, as vast numbers of civilians displaced from fighting elsewhere have sought refuge in the area.”
The UN Security Council warned in earlier April that Houthi attempts to take control of Marib would place internally displaced people at high risk and would threaten efforts to reach a political settlement.
Likewise, in March, western governments, including those of France, Germany, Italy, the UK and US, condemned the Houthi offensive on Marib, warning that the attack was “worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis”.
Meanwhile, al-Masirah reported that the Houthis said they are carrying out retaliatory attacks that come in response to an escalation of Saudi aggression, and its ongoing siege on Yemen.
Over the weekend, the Houthis have targeted King Khalid Airbase, in Khamis Mushait, as well as an important military site in Abha International Airport and other targets were successfully struck by Qasef-2k drones, as well as Sammad-3.
The Houthis have been quite active and successful in their attacks on Saudi Arabian targets behind the frontlines.

Western fascist governments support the Saudi Barbarian in the massacres of civilians, and in the theft of Yemenite resources, yet the pedo-Wahabi will lose with dishonor.
Also Russia and China officially supports KSA. Even selling military hardware to Saudis.
Its capitalism 101, always releive the fool of the burden of too.much money.
But the West is to blame when they do it.
more than likely since the clown can’t keep going with a purse getting slimmer and slimmer till there is just debt and then debt. mercenaries cost a lot even of they are just kids from sudan and somalia and so on and it’s doubtful that neither uk nor disunited states of morons can afford to keep the war going – give it another 6 months and the clown is suing for peace.
No justice-no peace, trust me on this one. Yemen for those who loves theirs country. Away with domestic traitors! Entire Beautiful Yemen musy and will be liberated.
Italian government has not support from the Italian people. It is a technical government so-called `National unity` but designed to Brusells
Cauldron closed. Some Turtkish-supplied al Qaeda rodents died, some escaped. Ansar Allah took Toumah Suflah heights, part of 3rd (and last) line of defense 4km from Marib. Last Saudi officers bailed out of Tadawain Camp (north of Marib) and relocated coalition HQ to the Yemeni/Saudi border crossing at al Waddin. Al Islah leaders also moved HQ somewhere away from Marib. Head-choppers running around with their heads on fire.

It amusing to see Western Media increasingly lose touch with reality. They keep referring to the government of the country, with its seat of power in the capital Saana and over 70% of Yemenis under its control, “Houthi Rebels”. Western news media can’t see how absurd their news reporting has become. They want to convince their readers that 2/3 of Yemen’s population are “rebelling” against the “Saudi invasion” of their country. No Western news outlet refers to Taliban in Afghanistan as “rebel”, even though the Taliban don’t control Kabul or any other big population center. The Western propaganda machine is a laughing stock as far as Yemen is concerned.
Bless you.
