DUBAI, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Yemen's government fought their way into the province surrounding the capital on Monday, tribal sources said, the closest they have advanced toward Sanaa since the Houthi movement seized it in September last year.
"(President Abd-Rabbu Mansour) Hadi's forces took control of two mountains in the Nihm district in Sanaa province," one tribal source said. The area is about 60 km (37 miles) north-east of the capital. (Reporting by Mohammed Ghobari; Writing by Noah Browning; Editing by Louise Ireland)
