Regard developments of the situation in Shabwa and the surrounding provinces, Governor Bahaj confirmed that the Houthis began to withdraw from Beihan Center, Shabwa province, because tribesmen defeated them.

He said that between 2,500 to 3,000 military men who support the Houthis surrendered to the tribesmen in Shabwa and handed over their weapons and equipment and are now being re-organized and transferred safely to safe places. --SPA 04:05 LOCAL TIME 01:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
