The Nihm Offensive was a military operation that began in mid-December 2015 in the District of Nihm (40 km east of the capital Sana'a), when government forces took control of "Mas camp" which borders the governorates of Al-Jawf, and Marib. On 19–20 December, government forces coming from Marib and al-Jawf (in the northeast of the capital Sana'a), took control of the 312th Armored Brigade camp, and 334th Armored Brigade camp. Government forces faced fierce resistance that lasted until February 2016, when they were able to take control of the 312th Armored Corps camp.
