A military official said on Monday, May. 31 forces loyal to the Yemeni administration mobilized military reinforcements to southern frontier areas in a bid to prevent the Houthi rebels from breaking in southern regions.
The local military source stated on condition of remaining anonymous: "units of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), which is part of Yemen's government, dispatched armored vehicles and infantrymen to the border areas of the country's southern province of Lahj."
The source noted: "moving troops to a number of border positions in Al Qabbaytah district came in response to intelligence tips that armed groups were planning a large-scale attack through the territory against the southern provinces."
He further said: "the intelligence tips generated alarm in Aden about the possibility that the rebel forces would carry out attacks against the country's southern provinces."
