Government forces launched Operation "Yemen Dawn" with the aim of restoring state institutions and liberating the capital, Sana'a.
The military spokesman for the Ansar Allah group, Yahya Saree, said in a statement on Tuesday, “Our armed forces were able to confront a number of attempts by the Saudi enemy’s mobilizations to advance towards Bab al-Mandab, expelling them and forcing them to retreat, but they did not achieve any progress,” adding that the group targeted the gatherings of those forces with “ten ballistic missiles.”
