Yemeni revolutionaries managed to take control of a strategically-important crossing along Yemen’s Northern border with Saudi Arabia.
The revolutionaries captured Tawwal border crossing in Hajjah Province on Saturday. They also took control of Wagha region in the same province, press tv reported.
Tawwal border crossing witnesses massive traffic between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
The anti-government protesters already control the cities of Sana'a, Ibb, Dhamar and the major port city of Hudayda.
Also on Friday, the revolutionaries took control of the strategic town of Rada' in the province of al-Bayda.
Al-Qaeda-linked militants were controlling the town for nearly two years.
The latest round of fighting comes as hundreds of thousands of Yemeni people from various tribes and faiths have been staging massive protests in Sana'a for the last several weeks to demand the dismissal of the government and the reversal of an earlier government decision to slash fuel subsidies.
The Houthi movement that played a key role in the popular uprising that forced former dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down in 2012 is now a part of the comprehensively popular protests.
