Violent battles continued between the Yemeni legitimate forces and tribes on the one hand, and the Houthi militia on the other, today, Friday, on various fronts in the Marib governorate, while the coalition fighters continued to launch their support raids, targeting Houthi sites, mechanisms and reinforcements in several areas.

Field sources confirmed that violent battles erupted between the two sides on the outskirts of Wasit village, and near the Al-Bayda-Al-Juba junction, south of Marib, after the Houthi militia attempted to advance under heavy cover of fire to take control of the Al-Jadida area, the center of the Juba district.
