DUBAI: The Yemeni army regained control of areas in Al-Jawf province, northwest of the war-torn country, after clashes with the Iran-backed Houthi militia, state news agency SPA reported on Friday.
A military source said the skirmish resulted to deaths and wounds among the militia as well as the destruction of Houthi vehicles.
Conflict in Yemen erupted in 2014 when the Houthis overran the capital Sanaa, and much of the north, pushed out the internationally recognized government and ushered a civil war that has killed tens of thousands of people.
