Saada, August 20, 2019, SPA -- The Yemeni national army, backed by the coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen, on Tuesday, took over new areas in Saada province. The army forces were able to regain control over areas of “A’ar” and “Naqaa”, as well as liberated the Mountain of al-Ada in Al-Safra’a front, northern Saada. The army secured the gains following an attack on positions of the Houthi rebel militia, which incurred huge human and material losses. The national army is maintaining their advances on the ground in the wake of major collapses and breakdown among the Houthi militia. --SPA 00:43 LOCAL TIME 21:43 GMT 0034 www.spa.gov.sa/w1158860
