With Jim Dean : Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters are gaining more ground in the southern city of Aden, despite the Saudi-led airstrikes which Riyadh says are aimed at halting their advance.

The fighters, known as Houthis, have advanced into the districts of Mualla and Qalwa’a in Aden. They’ve been engaged in fierce clashes with al-Qaeda militants and remnants of fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi over the past two weeks. In their latest battles, the Houthis have taken off the air an Aden TV station loyal to Hadi. Ansarullah fighters are struggling to secure the city amid Saudi operations to hamper their efforts. On Saturday and Sunday, Riyadh airdropped arms for groups fighting the Houthis in Aden. The city is one of the footholds of the remnants of Hadi regime.
