A checkpoint of the UAE-backed security belt in the province of Lahj on Wednesday closed the road between the provinces of Aden, Lahj and Taiz, coinciding with fierce fighting between the National Army forces and the Houthis.
Local sources said that the belt soldiers in the area of Khubt al-Raja’a in the province of Lahj prevented dozens of citizens and families of Taiz province from entering the city of Aden.
The sources pointed out that the closure of the road coincided with the attack by the Houthis since the early hours of dawn on the positions of the National Army in the front of “Al-Ahkoum”, south of Taiz.
According to the sources, the Houthi militia pushed military reinforcements to “Al-AHkoum” in an attempt to cut the road of “Haygat Al-Abd”.
