Damt falls to Soddy backed Yemeni resistance
2015-11-10
Yemeni national resistance fighters seized all positions they had tactically quit in the Southwestern town of Damt after launching an offensive against the Houthis and their allies on Sunday, a Yemeni news network reported on Monday.

Fierce fighting erupted in that area, forcing the Iranian-backed coup insurgents to flee their positions and retreat to areas outside the town, Mabrib Press said.

It quoted resistance sources as saying all Houthi positions around the town had been occupied and that many bodies of the insurgents were seen on the roads.

“Our fighters retook all the positions from which they had tactically withdrawn because of ammunition shortage,” a resistance source said.

According to the Qatari satellite TV news channel ‘Al Jazeera’, nine coup rebels were killed in pitched battles with the national resistance in Damt on Sunday. Five resistance fighters were also killed during the clashes, it added.

In central Yemen, the resistance said it killed 13 Houthis in attacks on their position in Al Bayda on Sunday. It said eight were killed in Mashbah area and five others in Sabah region, adding that one resistance fighter was “martyred.”
