"Water supply to our house returned and we call on the STC to work on developing the basic services in the southern regions," said Mukhtar Hanash, a resident.
On Wednesday, Yemen's government forces launched a large-scale attack and attempted to retake the southern main cities including Aden, but faced strong resistance from the STC military units.
The Yemeni government forces attempted to seize Aden militarily after mobilizing heavy forces that managed to approach from the eastern outskirts of Aden.
However, the STC military units defended Aden and rapidly pushed the government forces back to the mountainous areas in Abyan.
A source of the STC confirmed to Xinhua that "Aden and the other neighboring main cities including Abyan and Lahj are completely secured by our forces after expelling the militants."
He said that "the STC forces began a security campaign to track some suspected terrorist elements who exploited the chaos and began attacking military checkpoints."
Many residents based in the country's southern main cities are still afraid that Yemen's government forces might launch a new offensive to confront the STC.
"It seems that we will witness another round of violence in the next days because the government wants to seize the southern cities back from the STC," said Alaa Fadhal, another resident.
"For us, services and safe life are more important than who is ruling our cites either the STC or the government," Fadhal added.
