The Saudi-Emirati coalition announced the destruction of 8 marches launched by the Houthis towards the south of the Kingdom, while it carried out 39 targeting operations against the Houthis in Marib during the past 24 hours.
He added that he destroyed 21 Houthi vehicles, and killed 230 fighters. The coalition had said earlier that it had detected a hostile escalation using drones by the Houthis, noting that a number of drones had taken off from Sanaa International Airport.
For its part, Al-Masirah channel, affiliated with the Houthi group, said that on Sunday, the coalition launched 31 air raids on areas south of Ma’rib Governorate.
In the same context, the Yemeni army stated that units of its forces stormed Houthi fortifications and barricades on the southern front of the Marib Governorate, and regained control of large areas of it.
The army’s media center stated that its forces were engaged in continuous battles against the Houthi militia on all fronts and axes south of Ma’rib Governorate, which resulted in the killing and wounding of dozens of Houthi militants, and the destruction of military vehicles and the seizure of others.
The Houthis used to launch ballistic missiles and booby-trapped drones at Saudi and other Yemeni regions, in return for repeated declarations by the coalition to thwart these attacks, despite Arab and international calls for a ceasefire.
On the other hand, the coalition has recently intensified its air strikes against Houthi-controlled sites in several governorates, including Sanaa.
Yemen has been witnessing for nearly 7 years a continuous war between pro-government forces backed by a Saudi-Emirati military alliance, and the Iran-backed Houthis, who have controlled several governorates, including the capital, Sanaa, since September 2014.
