National Army artillery on Saturday carried out heavy bombardment on the sites of Houthi rebel militia in the district of Al-Selw, eastern Taiz province.

A field source told “September Net” that the shelling targeted the militia positions and crowd beneath Naqel al-Selw, causing them significant loss of life and combat equipment.

Violent confrontations also erupted between army forces and the coupist militia east of Taiz after the latter tried to advance toward the Altashrifat camp and Republican Palace area and Wadi Salah.

The source confirmed that army forces thwarted the militia’s attempt and forced them to flee, after they suffered killed and wounded in their ranks.
