East of Sarwah front
Conflicts reached Talaat al-Hamra, Zour and Hamajira at the moment and it seems Ansar Allah tactics in this axis are still on hit-and-run continuously and step by step advance toward Marib dam and southwestern heights of the city. If Ansar Allah continues toward south of the dam, it is possible to cut the southern road of Marib city and it can be helpful in cleansing Jabal Murad and al-Jubah district and operation in south of Marib province.
