Al-sahwa net reporter, who visited Hamdan district, where Al-huthi's top aide was killed, said that yesterday's bombing, on the part of the government troops, was focused on Ayoob mountain, the impregnable stronghold of Al-huthi's militiamen. No casualties or heavy losses were reported, according to the reporter. He underscored that villagers in Al-Nashoor and Al-shafah neighborhoods evacuated their villages heading to Hamdan district environs.
