MARIB, Dec. 11 (YPA) – The National Salvation Government’s forces (Sanaa Forces) on Friday have taken full control over al-Qaeda’s largest camp in the Kare area south of Marib province.

The sources noted that Sanaa forces continued their large-scale military offensive for the second day in a row towards the positions of the coalition forces and their armed groups in Wadi Abeida, south of Marib, through which they managed to take over the camp “Kare” supervised by Khaled Ali Mbkhout al-Arada.

The same sources confirmed that Sanaa forces seized  warehouses contained a huge arsenal of weapons and improvised explosive devices that the al-Qaeda  elements planning to use in their terrorist operations when the city  fell to the grip of Sanaa forces.
