Sources said to the island that the Yemeni National Army took control of areas in the outskirts of Jaar, the largest city in the Abyan governorate, south of the country.
And local Yemeni sources said that units of the army carried out a military operation on the locations and gatherings of the militants of the southern-backed Council of the United Arab Emirates in the province.
The sources pointed out that the army units were able to complete control of the Sioud mountain range northwest of Al-Tria and a number of sites belonging to the security belt forces and the giants brigades of the Transitional Council on the road to the city of Jaar.
Clashes resumed in Abyan governorate between the government forces and the Transitional Council militants in late May.
A spokesman for the Southern Transitional Council had accused ministers in the legitimate government of being linked to foreign agendas, adding that they posed a threat to the Yemeni people and the Saudi-Emirati alliance, as he put it.
He clarified that the Saudi-Emirati alliance is under pressure from parties in the Yemeni legitimacy that do not want a military settlement in the north with the Houthis and escalated in the south of the country.
The spokesman noted that a delegation from the Transitional Council headed by Aidroos Al-Zubaidi held talks in Riyadh with the Saudi leadership on the situation in Yemen and the south in particular.
