In the early hours of the morning, groups of Houthi rebels tried to advance towards army positions in Qaniya front, but the army repelled those attempts and launched a counter-offensive.

During the counter-offensive, the army succeeded to advance and secure some strategic areas, killing and wounding some Houthi militants and destroying a number of their combat vehicles.

The army continues to follow President Hadi’s orders for a cease-fire in response to the UN call.
