The purpose of the movement is said to be to allow loyalist forces to regroup and strengthen their presence in government-controlled areas, including the temporary capital, Aden, in southern Yemen.
The Iran-backed Houthi movement considers the withdrawal a success. A military source within the movement said it came after “the forces lost their positions and rear lines” and was the result of an increasingly tight siege by government-allied forces.
On Sunday afternoon, five people were reported killed and eight wounded in a rocket attack on Aden, four military and government sources told AFP. The Houthi movement is blamed for the attack.
