Aden and Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat—Yemeni government loyalists said on Monday they had seized control of Aden’s central Al-Tawahi district, the last remaining rebel stronghold in the southern city, following fierce clashes with the insurgents.
“Resistance fighters have succeeded in controlling all of the Al-Tawahi district and its vital facilities,” Ali Al-Ahmadi, spokesman for the government loyalists, told Asharq Al-Awsat on Monday.
The loyalists, known as the Popular Resistance, also wrested control of the presidential palace, the state radio and television building, the headquarters of the regional military command, and a navy base, Ahmadi added.
The loyalists have now begun combing the surrounding areas in an effort to eliminate the last remaining rebel pockets, according to the spokesman.
Forces loyal to President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, backed by Saudi-led airstrikes, captured Aden last week and members of the country’s exiled cabinet have since started returning to the city from their temporary base in Riyadh.

Maybe we can extract a confession of Iran's support of the Houthis.
