Qaeda sites in Yemen, Asiri said the overall plan does not specify Al-Qaeda or ISIS but has specified scheduled targets on the ground to achieve the goals of restoring the legitimacy in Yemen, led by President Abdrabbo Mansour Hadi. Asked about the so-called initiative of a special envoy of the deposed president Ali Saleh to secure a safe haven for his boss and find a possible settlement to the determination storm operation, or have it ended or stopped, Asiri said the operation never deals with individuals but is committed to solve the whole issue absolutely, noting that the situation before the start of the operation would never come back again. He noted that the militias were controlling most of the Yemeni territories of the north and southwards at the beginning of the storm, but now they have lost control and scattering on the ground in isolated spots. He drew the attention to the fact that the militias are now on the defensive and more vulnerable to coalition forces airstrikes which became more accurate, vowing that they would achieve their goals very soon. He said fighting in Taiz is taking place between Brigade 35 which supports legitimacy and some militia elements and popular army supporters, drawing the attention that over the last 24 hours, the operations were continuing and that the airstrikes are providing a strong back up, describing the situation inside Taiz as stable. He noted that the militias are taking refuge in residential cities and inside schools, hotels and hospitals with strict instructions for the coalition airplanes not to attack them unless a rare definite chance arises, citing the attack on the vocational institute and adding that yesterday targets in Loder and Abeen were attacked as they were seized by the militias. --More 22:32 LOCAL TIME 19:32 GMT تغريد
