According to a statement released by Yemen’s army on Tuesday, the Yemeni forces managed to fully capture the town of al-Raboah in the kingdom's southwestern Asir province after fierce clashes with Saudi troops, the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news website reported.
The report added that the Yemeni forces captured a number of villages east of al-Raboah before advancing towards the town.
The Saudi troopers, though heavily baked by warplanes and choppers, fled the area and left behind their military equipment and weaponry. The Saudi forces also sustained heavy damage and casualties in the clashes.
