Yemen: At least 134 Yemen rebels dead in strikes south of Marib

SANAA, 13 October 2021, (TON): Yemen has been devastated by a seven-year conflict pitting the Shia rebels against the government supported by a Saudi-led military coalition.

The Saudi-led coalition said “more than 130 Yemen rebels have been killed in air strikes south of Marib, a flashpoint of the civil war.”

Dozens of strikes were carried out in the Abdiya district of Marib province. Marib city is the internationally recognised government's last outpost in northern Yemen.

A coalition statement carried by official Saudi media said "we targeted nine military vehicles of the Houthi militia in Abdiya, and their losses exceeded 134 members.”

Hundreds of Houthi rebels and military have died since fighting for the strategically vital city flared anew last month.
