With the support of the Arab Coalition, Yemen's armed forces continue to take steady steps toward Saada province, the main stronghold of the Houthi rebel militia.

A field commander confirmed that the army is advancing as planned towards the center of Saadah after he most important sites, especially in the borders with Saudi Arabia, have become under the government's control.
According military sources, the army has taken full control of Saadah's border crossing points, which represents an advanced stage in the course of military operations aimed at restoring the whole province.
