It is tactical move to prevent the Saudi mercenary pilots from destroying the dam which supplies water to almost 3 million people. The Saudi criminal cowards were using the Ansarallah control of the dam as a justification to bomb it. There were three air raids yesterday, but luckily they all missed and after that the Ansarallah decided to move closer to the city which they will storm soon.

This is the front lines 5-6 hours ago. The heaviest clashes are at the Tal’at al-Hamra (middle of the map, north of the western road to Ma’rib) where Ansarallah managed to capture the mountain but the situation is not stabilized yet. Zour and Hamajirah (south of the mentioned road) are quiet for now.

If they succeed, There’s no other major obstacle to Ma’rib.

Another tribe from Ma’rib reached an agreement with Ansarallah. Last night there was a large explosion and great fire in the south of Al-Shahla, under Saudi/Hadi forces. It seems they lost it.

Americans offered Ansarallah that they will stop supporting Saudis if Ansarallah cut ties with Iran. Naturally they didn’t accept, saying it’s meddling in Yemen’s internal affairs and not different from the war they imposed on them. Yemen has final say about their relations with others, not any foreigner.
Did Americans really think that there are still people in the world, specially in the countries who tasted the American type of freedom and democracy who believe their word? :)

This is what I meant by my comment the other day regarding the dam capture – I couldn’t see what Ansar Allah could do with it.

The dam is not really useful – even controlling it simply means the burden of management would be shifted to the Houthi, which means useless overhead.

It was clear they would have to leave the dam and look for a meaningful target like the city itself.

Although, using the dam as a base would be useful …

By the way, it seems like the Hadi ‘government’ itself is being thrown under the bus by the western alliance.

What does this mean?

I think this means that the western alliance is getting ready to back another group against the Houthi and have decided the Hadi ‘government’ is “in the way” (i.e useless) … Await the emergence of an ISIS like group in Yemen …
