MARIB, Oct. 26 (YPA) – The Yemeni army and popular committees (Sanaa forces), reinforced by fighters from Marib province, have imposed their full control over Al-Jouba district, south of Marib.

Deputy Foreign Minister in the national salvation government in Sanaa, Hussein Al-Ezzi, said in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, “Al-Jouba is the last district of Marib to embrace Sanaa after a long absence.”

On the other hand, Sheikh Khaled Mohammed Qaid Tua’iman Al-Jahmi confirmed that the army and the popular committees took control of the center of Al-Jouba district, “Al-Jadida” and “Al-Jarsha”.

Deputy Governor of Bayda province, Sheikh Nasser Al-Wahbi, considered that the “Al-Amoud” area is the last area of the Al-Jouba district, and in it is “Al-Hajouri” center, which includes extremist elements of various foreign nationalities.

Sanaa forces have been able to isolate Al-Jouba from “Jabal Murad” district and surround the latter from various sides, amid rapid collapses of the Saudi-led coalition forces in several areas, including “Ajma” and “Yarah”, leaving dead and wounded in their ranks.
