Sources confirmed that the National Shield forces, led by the Governor of Hadhramaut in Yemen, have taken control of the “37th Strategic Brigade Camp” in the Al-Khasha area.
Field sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that the National Shield forces tightened their grip on Al-Khasha camp after clashes with the Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces, which subsequently retreated.
The sources added that National Shield forces continue to secure and completely clear the areas adjacent to the camp.
According to military sources in Hadhramaut, STC forces “had positioned themselves in areas on the outskirts of the camp early on, fearing airstrikes.”
“These forces were dealt with,” and efforts are underway to secure the area, the sources said.
They confirmed that National Shield forces will continue advancing toward Seiyun to liberate the remaining camps and areas.
Those forces, “with support from brothers in the Kingdom (Saudi Arabia), are proceeding according to clear plans to secure all military camps in the governorates of Hadhramaut and Al-Mahrah.”
The forces “are now present in some areas on the outskirts of Seiyun.”
The sources did not confirm reports about the withdrawal of STC forces from the First Military Region in Seiyun.
“Some STC forces are stationed at Seiyun Hospital and the Republican Palace, while the rest of the locations have been completely evacuated and their forces have withdrawn toward Al-Qatn," they added.
