The importance of Harad
The army artillery also destroyed - according to the statement - 3 military vehicles carrying weapons and ammunition in the Al-Shaab and Al-Hayjah areas of the same city.
On Sunday, Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdul-Malik announced that the army forces are approaching the liberation of the entire strategic city of Haradh.
Haradh, which is under the control of the Houthis, is considered one of the important Yemeni cities, as it contains a vital land port linked to Saudi Arabia and is one of the most important ports in Yemen.
And yesterday, Monday, the Yemeni army announced the downing of 8 drones launched by the Houthis on the strategic city of Haradh, in which government forces have made great progress and are close to liberating it, according to previous government reports.
This comes at a time when fighting continues between government forces and the Houthis in the city.
Recently, the Yemeni army recaptured several areas from the Houthis, most notably the districts of Bayhan, Usaylan and Ain in Shabwa (southeast) and the city of Harib in Ma'rib (central).
Yemen has been witnessing for more than 7 years a continuous war between pro-government forces backed by a military coalition led by the neighboring Saudi Arabia, and the Iranian-backed Houthis, who have controlled several governorates - including the capital, Sanaa - since September 2014.
