Deputy Foreign Minister in the Sanaa government, Hussein al-Ezzi, assured that the liberation of the Marib governorate will increase the likelihood of long-term strategic peace in Yemen and neighboring countries.
Yemeni military and political affairs expert Brigadier General Abdul Ghani al-Zubaidi told Al Mayadeen that Sanaa forces air defenses are improving in repelling the Saudi aggression on Marib.
"The Yemeni Forces and Popular Committees are approaching Marib, and most fighters from seven southern districts in Marib have joined the armed forces to combat the Saudi aggression," al-Zubaidi added.
