About the battle
The siege of Sanaa, also known as the Seventy Day Siege (Arabic: حصار السبعين), took place between 28 November 1967 and 7 February 1968, during the North Yemen Civil War. The siege would become a critical battle to determine the outcome of the war and the eventual failure of the royalists to retake the city, the Republicans won a de facto tactical victory in the war, retaining the seat of power, and gradually winning international recognition as a legitimate North Yemen government.
