The rebels seized the headquarters of the 35th army brigade during violent clashes with forces loyal to country's President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi who fled the country amid mounting tensions in March, according to al-Mayadeen.
Despite the international coalition announcing the completion of the military operation Decisive Storm in Yemen on Tuesday night, clashes have reportedly continued in southern areas of the country, including the cities of Aden, Taiz and Lahij.
The Restoring Hope campaign, which will focus on counter-terrorism efforts, humanitarian missions, and the revival of political dialogue in Yemen, will replace the terminated Decisive Storm mission.
The Houthi rebels, Yemen's main opposition force, control large territories in the country, including the capital Sanaa.
