ISWNews Analysis Group: Following clashes between Ansar Allah and Saudi-led forces in Marib province, Ansar Allah withdrew from a number of areas west of the Marib Dam.
During the last two days, Tala’at al-Hamra front and the west of the Marib Dam have been the main areas of clashes between Ansar Allah and the Saudi-led coalition forces. Ansar Allah has retreated from several points around the Marib Dam after heavy fighting with the Saudi-led forces, al-Qaeda and ISIS militants.
Currently, al-Zour and al-Hamajira areas are empty of forces on both sides. On the other hand, Ansar Allah and popular committees succeeded in advancing in the Tala’at al-Hamra mountain, but Ansar Allah control over this area has not yet been stabilized, and the fiercest clashes continue on the Tala’at al-Hamra front between the two sides.
If Tala’at al-Hamra area is stabilized, the western road of Marib city will be under Ansar Allah fire control.
