Yemeni forces liberate strategic mountain in Ta’izz

The Yemeni army, backed by Popular Committees loyal to the Houthi Ansarullah movement, has captured a strategic mountain in the southwestern province of Ta’izz.

Yemen’s al-Masirah TV network reported on Wednesday that the Yemeni forces were able to liberate Mount Jubah in the al-Mesrakh district of Ta’izz and kill a number of Saudi mercenaries.

According to the report, several Saudi-backed forces were also killed or captured during a raid on al-Shukah Mountain in Ta’izz.

In another development on Wednesday, the Yemeni army fired a Qaher 1 ballistic missile at the al-Faisal military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern city of Khamis Mushait in retaliation for Riyadh’s unrelenting military campaign against Yemen.

Separately, several militiamen loyal to fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, were killed after Yemeni troops fired a missile at the Dhubab district of Tai’zz.
