Yemen’s Houthi fighters, backed by allied army units, have taken a district in the southwestern part of the war-stricken country.

Yemeni forces took the district, which was controlled by forces loyal to the former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, in the southwestern province of Dali', after fierce clashes on Saturday.

Yemen’s al-Masirah TV, meanwhile, said Houthi fighters and the army units sank another Saudi military vessel in the country’s southwestern waters as it was sailing off the coast of Mocha in the Red Sea.

It was not immediately clear how the allied forces managed to sink the vessel but it came hours after two Saudi boats were destroyed in the same area by rounds of Katyusha rockets fired from the positions of Houthi and the Yemeni army on the mainland.
