πΎπͺπΎπͺπΊ Latest Field Situation on the Ma'rib City Front According to our field source on Yemen, since dawn today, exchanges of fire and artillery attacks have begun on the western and southern axes of Ma'rib city. βοΈπ₯Saudi warplanes, in order to reduce the pressure from Yemeni armed forces' attacks, have bombed the Umm Rish base in Al-Jubah district and several other points on the Al-Ma'la front. βοΈ The lines of control between the two sides around Ma'rib city have so far remained unchanged. It appears that the attacks by the Yemeni army and popular committees on this axis are harassing and limited in nature, with no serious intention to capture Ma'rib city. βΌοΈIn recent hours, some Saudi media outlets have claimed that dozens of Ansar Allah forces were killed in attacks on Ma'rib. However, the released videos pertain to a few limited ambushes, and there is no news of high casualties. βοΈ Ma'rib city is surrounded from the south by the Al-Balaq mountains and from the west by another chain of highlands, and these heights create a natural defensive line for the city's defenders. Direct attack and advance through these mountains is illogical. Capturing Ma'rib requires a large-scale operation from multiple directions, including an advance on the northern axis. Therefore, under the current circumstances, it does not appear that the Yemeni army and Ansar Allah have any intention of conducting a large-scale operation on this axis. #Yemen
