[REGNUM] At least 10 pro-government Yemeni troops were killed in an anti-personnel mine explosion, Xinhua reported, citing a source in Yemeni circles. "An anti-personnel mine planted by the Houthis killed at least ten pro-government troops in Hajja province near the border with Saudi Arabia," the source said. According to him, the explosion damaged a car with military personnel. At the same time, the source points out, the Houthis are laying hundreds of anti-personnel mines to slow down the advance of the troops. As REGNUM reported, on February 8, the Yemeni government army and the Houthis began a battle for the capture of the city of Harad in the province of Hajja. Pro-government troops managed to shoot down eight rebel drones. The Yemeni military is trying to take the city by storm in the coming days. Eight Houthi drones shot down in Yemen [REGNUM] Units of the government army of Yemen and detachments of the Houthi rebels entered the battle for the possession of the city of Harad in the province of Hajja. This was reported on February 8 by Al-Hadath, citing an official statement from the Yemeni army. According to the latest data, the rebels are actively using artillery, armored vehicles and kamikaze drones. “Army formations of the force repelled a fierce attack by the Houthi militias, during which they tried to regain lost positions and lift the siege of the central areas of the city, where their formations continue to resist. Army forces shot down eight rebel military drones in the airspace of the liberated areas of Hajja province,” the Yemeni army said in a statement. According to military sources, the army continues to attack Harad from three directions and intends to take the city by storm in the near future.
Dozens of Yemeni pro-government fighters have been killed in a new offensive to take a rebel-held city, loyalist sources said on Tuesday, following a surge in violence including missile attacks on the United Arab Emirates. Thirty-two soldiers have died and at least 100 have been wounded in three days of fighting to drive the Iran-backed rebels from Haradh, north of the capital Sanaa and near the Saudi border, the sources said. Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war between the government -- supported by a Saudi-led military coalition -- and the Iran-backed Huthis, who control much of the north, since 2014. The latest clashes come after the Huthi rebels, after suffering territorial defeats to UAE-trained troops, killed three oil workers in a series of drone and missile attacks on Abu Dhabi. Fighting was still raging around Haradh on Tuesday, the pro-government sources said, adding that the loyalists have besieged the area but are yet to seize the city. One loyalist source said at least 56 rebels were killed in the fighting and accompanying coalition air strikes. The Huthis rarely report casualties in their ranks. The Yemeni conflict has intensified in recent weeks, with the coalition and loyalist forces launching a series of offensives to recover territory lost to the rebels further south. Meanwhile, the Huthis have stepped up their missile and drone attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia and have launched similar assaults on the United Arab Emirates, a member of the military coalition.
