SAUDI FORCES WREST CONTROL

The Saudi Armed Forces are in “complete control” of the Mount Dokhan region and have “purged the mountains inside the Kingdom” of the Yemeni guerrillas, said Prince Khaled Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, Assistant Minister of Defense and Aviationin a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). All previously captured mountaintops inside Saudi territory following the armed infiltration of the Huthi rebels are now cleared, he said.  “The order of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was to keep everything within our territory. We have not crossed the Yemeni border and we will not,” he said. Saudi warplanes and artillery continued bombarding the hide-outs of the rebels at the Mount Dokhan region driving them out of the territory, with an increasing number of rebels surrendering. Eyewitnesses reported frequent sorties of Saudi fighter jets bombing the hide-outs.
