| [ALMANAR.LB] Despite the Saudi air strikes, Yemeni army, supported by Ansarullah movement, made fresh gains in Yemen, capturing the provincial government headquarters in the southern city of Aden. The resistance fighters advanced during the night to reach the central district of Mualla where they took the local seat of government including the governor's office, officials said. The Yemeni army bombarded holy warriors' hubs in Mualla and inflicted heavy losses upon them. Over two dozen people have reportedly been killed and several others maimed in a fresh wave of Saudi aerial attacks in Yemen, which also targeted a humanitarian aid convoy in the country's southwest. Witnesses said the Saudi fighter jets on Sunday fired several missiles on two aid trucks that were heading toward the southeastern city of Taiz to distribute humanitarian supplies among crisis-stricken people, Yemen's al-Masirah satellite TV network reported. Three people were martyred and nine others maimed in the attack, according to the report. Separately, more than 24 people were killed after Saudi warplanes bombarded a region situated between the southern Yemeni provinces of Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... and al-Bayda, late on Saturday, according to a report published by Yemen-based Arabic-language Wattan news agency. Saudi warplanes also struck another region situated between al-Bayda and Shabwa provinces. There were no immediate reports on possible casualties. |
