ADEN, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi recaptured al-Anad military and air base on Monday, the country's largest, after heavy fighting in which dozens of Houthi fighters were killed or captured.
The commander of the operation, Brigadier General Fadel Hassan, said his forces were combing the sprawling base north of the southern port Jajanan Anak Sekolah city of Aden searching for any Houthi fighters who may have remained behind after hundreds fled.
