As the Yemeni armed forces continues its advance on the strategic city of Marib, local reports claim that as of 23 September Ansarallah resistance fighters have liberated 10 out of 14 districts in the oil-rich province.

The reports come just one day after all remaining Saudi coalition forces in the district of Al-Abdiya, just south of Marib, surrendered to the Yemeni army and popular committees. Following days of intense fighting, the Yemeni army has liberated large swathes of the Saudi-led coalitions last northern stronghold.

Meanwhile, Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, stressed last week that Iran will not tolerate any hostile movements on its own borders announcing that Iraq and the Kurdistan region should not allow the mercenaries of America and Israel to set up training camps on Irans borders."

Bagheri also noted that "the operations that Iran started in the past two weeks will continue." The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has recently launched a series of strikes on the sites of the anti-Iranian militants in northern Iraq, and Tehran demanded the Iraqi government to take steps to prevent the activities of these groups. Meanwhile, drones and missile attacks on Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq have become a norm, where US-led coalition troops and reportedly the Mossad too are stationed.
