Al Yuba is the place where a strategic camp of the Yemeni Army and its allies was located, which would have passed under the control of the insurgents in the last hours, according to Houthi sources informed the Iranian agency Tasnim.
The camp was an obstacle for the rebels on their way to the Safar fields, the largest natural gas supply plant in the country, they said.
The Saudi-led military coalition claims to have inflicted heavy casualties on the Houthi insurgents almost daily for nearly a month, but this has not impeded their advance on Marib, the capital of the oil-rich province of the same name.
Figures from the coalition, which counted more than 2,000 rebels killed since the start of the last bombing campaign last October, cannot be independently verified and the Houthis rarely report their losses.
The Yemeni conflict erupted in 2014, when insurgents occupied the country’s capital, Sana’a, and other provinces of the country and expelled President Abdo Rabu Mansur Hadi, now exiled in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies have intervened militarily in the conflict since March 2015 to try to defeat the Houthis, supported by Iran, and reinstate the exiled leader.
