Coalition forces carry out campaign of arrests in Marib

MARIB, Jun. 23 (YPA) – The Saudi-led coalition forces launched on Wednesday a massive campaign of arrests against dozens of tribes’ sons in the city of Marib, eastern Yemen.

According to sources, the campaign targeted the sons of al-Ashraf tribes in Al-Manban area, on charges of belonging to Houthis.

The sources affirmed that the coalition forces cut off the dam road leading towards the Qatra al-Ashraf area.

This came two days after the Sanaa government forces took control of all the “Al-Balaq” mountain range in the vicinity of the Marib Dam.

In July 2019, the coalition forces launched a large-scale military operation, using artillery shelling on the homes and farms of Al-Ashraf in Al-Manban area in the city.
