On March 27, the Houthis attacked and captured a number of positions belonging to Saudi-backed forces in the Yam mountain range area. According to pro-Houthi sources, Saudi-backed forces had de-facto lost control over a large part of the area.
The Yam mountain range is located in the district of Nehim east of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa. If Saudi-backed forces retreat from it, their attempt to reach the countryside of the country’s capital can once again be considered as a failure.
