ADEN, 23rd April, 2017 (WAM) -- Forces of the National Army of Yemen restored communication towers at Khalid bin Al Walid camp in Western Taiz today.
According to the Yemeni News Agency, the artillery of the first unit of the National Army’s 22nd Brigade on the eastern front of the province of Taiz destroyed an armoured vehicle belonging to the militia near Al Tashreefat camp, while noting that guns from the National Army targeted and killed a militia sniper near Al Tashreefat gate.
On a related note, army artillery units fired on positions in the high areas of Al Sallal and Al Turky, behind central security forces and the Softel high area, succeeding in neutralising these positions after being used by the militias to bombard residential areas on the eastern front.
