With their recent advance in the al-Bayda Governorate, the pro-government forces are now attempting to expel the remaining Houthis fighters from southern Yemen. In response to the pro-government advance, the Houthis has sent reinforcements to the nearby Ta’iz Governorate in a bid to halt the former’s push towards the northern provinces of Sanaa, Sa’ada, and Hajjah.
