RIYADH, 03 November 2021, (TON): The coalition has since October 11 issued near-daily reports of bombing around Marib, saying it has since then killed around 2,300 insurgents in the area.
The Saudi-led military coalition backing the government in Yemen said that 115 Houthi rebels were killed in airstrikes around the strategic city of Marib as the insurgents advanced.
The Iran-backed Houthis rarely comment on losses, and AFP could not independently verify the toll.
The coalition said "fourteen military vehicles were destroyed and more than 115 insurgents.”
Marib, capital of the oil-rich province of the same name, is the internationally recognised government's last bastion in northern Yemen.
The strikes were carried out in the past 24 hours in Al-Jawba, about 50 kilometres south of Marib, and Al-Kassara, 30 kilometres northwest.
