According to military sources, at least 156 Houthi militants have been killed in battles with the Yemeni government forces in the northern province of Hajjah in the last two days.

The violence continues in Harad, near the Saudi border, and the surrounding Abs area. "A total of 106 terrorists were killed in a battle with government military forces in Harad on Friday," according to one of the sources quoted by the media on Saturday. "Coalition airstrikes also bombed dozens of Houthi militia vehicles," the source added, referring to the Saudi-led coalition backing the Yemeni government army.

According to military officials, the battle in Harad erupted days after the Houthi militia forced the government army out of the city, killing more than 60 soldiers and injuring 140 more. On February 17, Yemeni forces, supported by coalition warplanes, repelled an attempted attack by the Houthi militia on Yemeni army lines in Abd district.

"Fifty Houthis were killed on the spot," a military source on the battle lines of the Bani Hasan area told media. "Dozens of terrorists were injured."  "In addition, the army shot down ten bomb-carrying drones," he added. Yemen has been embroiled in civil conflict since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia took control of several northern provinces and drove President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's Saudi-backed government out of the capital Sanaa.
