Yemeni forces claim they have taken full control of energy-rich Shabwa province from the Houthi rebels in a battle for control of Shabwa and neighbouring Marib
Fighting has intensified since the start of the year where Houthi inroads in September had cut off access to the Saudi-backed government's last northern stronghold in Marib.
Yemen's Giants Brigade, a group backed by the United Arab Emirates and also part of a Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned Houthis, made the announcement on Monday. Marib, in central Yemen, has been the focus of the war for over a year, with the battle for control stymieing United Nations-led peace efforts. Marib city is home to 3 million people, including nearly 1 million who fled other parts of Yemen after the Houthis ousted the government from the capital, Sanaa, in late 2014, prompting the coalition to intervene months later.
Yemen's civil war began in 2014 when the Houthis took Sanaa and much of the northern part of the country, forcing the government to flee to the south, then to Saudi Arabia.
