The Zobab region in Ta’iz province and Wadi al-Milh and al-Tabab region in Sana’a are on the verge of being seized back by the Yemeni forces.
The victories of the Yemeni forces in Zobab front come while the Saudi-led coalition is fully equipped with advanced military equipment.
Meantime, the Yemeni forces took full control of al-Shabaka heights overlooking Zobab city in Ta'iz province. Al-Shabaka heights comprise five important hilltops.
The Yemeni forces are now paving their way to Zobab city as they are now in full control of al-Shabaka heights.
Winning back the Zobab city would provide the Yemeni forces with access to the strategic Bab al-Mandeb from the Eastern direction.
In a relevant development earlier today, the media reports said that Saudi Arabia has sent advanced military equipment and weapons to an extremist Salafi group called Hama al-Aqida led by Abu al-Abbas in Ta'iz province in a bid to pave the way for impending attacks by forces loyal to fugitive President Mansour Hadi on Bab al-Mandeb.
"New military equipment has been sent to al-Torba region to help the pro-Hadi militias," Yemen's Arabic-language Khabar news agency quoted an informed local source as saying on Monday.
A military truck packed with weapons and two armored personnel carriers arrived in al-Farza area in al-Torba region yesterday.
Also today, Senior Yemeni officials rejected the claims by the pro-Saudi camp that a strategic region in Ma'rib province has been captured by the pro-Hadi militias.
"The Farza-9 strategic region and its military base are still in the hands of the Yemeni army and the popular forces," Ansarullah official Abdullah al-Heshami told FNA.
Al-Heshami's remarks came after the Saudi and Israeli media launched propaganda in recent days claiming that the pro-Hadi forces had taken control of Farza-9 region.
Al-Heshami reiterated that the Yemeni forces had changed their positions in Farza-9 region in a bid to evade the Saudi airstrikes on their positions, but they have returned to their positions now.
The pro-Saudi camp's media hype comes at a time when the Yemeni army and popular forces have made remarkable military gains against the Saudi and pro-Hadi militias in Ma'rib province.
On February 5, at least 104 Saudi-led forces, including 8 senior Saudi and UAE officers, were killed in Yemen's ballistic missile attack on Ma'as military base in Ma'rib province in Central Yemen.
A commander of Yemen's Ansarullah Movement confirmed the missile attack at the Ma'as military base in Ma'rib.
On February 12, the Yemeni army and popular forces shot down a Saudi spy drone in Northern Yemen.
The Yemeni forces targeted a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as it was flying over a strategic district in Midi region in Hajjah province, which lies about 130 kilometers Northwest of the capital, Sana'a, FNA reported.
