Yemeni Government Forces Repel Houthi Attack in Marib


(MENAFN) Yemeni government forces repel a major Houthi assault in the oil-rich central province of Marib on Saturday, according to reports.

The attack targets areas of Al-Mashjah and Al-Zour, located west of Marib, where government-aligned forces manage to push back the advancing Houthi fighters.

No additional details about the reported confrontation are immediately available, while neither the Yemeni government forces nor the Houthis issue an immediate response.

The latest development comes as clashes continue across multiple Yemeni fronts, with fighting reported in Marib, Al-Jawf, Taiz, Al-Dhale and Al-Bayda provinces.

Videos circulating on social media reportedly show Houthi fighters who are said to have been killed or captured during battles on Friday along several areas bordering Marib.

Yemen remains caught in a prolonged conflict that began after the Houthis seized control of Sanaa and other parts of the country in 2014. A Saudi-led coalition later intervened in 2015 in support of Yemen's internationally recognized government.
