9 Houthi rebels, 3 government militaries murdered in dramatic fighting in central Yemen


(MENAFN)

Fighting overnight between the Yemeni government militaries and Houthi rebels in Yemen's central province of Marib resulted in at least the murder of 11 fighters from both sides and injured dozens of others, a local government security official said Sunday, June 7th.

The official in Marib told Xinhua on condition of anonymity, "At least nine rebels and three soldiers were killed and dozens from both sides were wounded in the battle near the western district of Majzar."

In the meantime, the Houthi group's al-Masirah TV stated that the Saudi-led military alliance in Yemen tossed 14 airstrikes overnight on the Houthi positions in Majzar.

The alliance has made no comment on the accusation.

The Yemeni government has taken much of Marib under its control since it recaptured the province from the Houthis in late 2015.
