Strategic base in Yemen's Marib falls to Houthi forces

[MIDDLEEASTMONITOR] Allied forces of the Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
movement and the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i armed forces have captured one of the most strategically important areas in the Marib province following announcements earlier today of the fall of the Mas Camp from Saudi-supported militia fighting on behalf of the exiled Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.This now means that the last line of defence to Marib city is under the control of Houthi forces who are on the verge of securing the Raghwan and Midghal districts, just northwest of the picturesque provincial capital, the last stronghold of Hadi's fighters and pro-coalition ground forces.
Over the past several months, joint Houthi-local government forces have been making steady progress towards the city, notably from its western axis. However the stronghold is heavily supported by the Saudi-led coalition's air strikes.
According to al-Masdar, it is speculated that the Houthi forces will seek to repeat their strategy of encirclement as they besiege the city, similarly to how they captured the neighbouring picturesque provincial capital of al-Hazm in Jizan earlier this year.
The loss of Marib city and the province's oil fields by the Hadi government and its Saudi supporters will be a serious blow to their effort in overthrowing the rival Sanaa-based government, the National Salvation Government.
