Yemeni forces backed by the United Arab Emirates are continuing a push in Yemen's energy-producing Marib region against the Houthis, they said on Tuesday, despite warnings by the Iran-aligned movement of further attacks on the UAE.
The Houthis launched a deadly strike on Abu Dhabi last week and a second foiled missile assault on Monday, after UAE-backed Yemeni militias intervened along frontlines where the Houthis had made inroads last year.
After expelling Houthi forces from southern Shabwa province earlier this month, the UAE-backed Giants Brigade on Tuesday announced it had taken full control of Huraib, a district in Marib that it entered two weeks ago.
