Arab Coalition: More Than 40 Houthis Killed in Target Operations in Yemen

On Sunday, the Arab coalition said that more than 40 Houthis were killed in strikes on the Yemeni provinces of Marib, Al-Bayda, and Jawf.

In an official statement, the coalition added that 7 military vehicles were also destroyed during the strikes over the last 24 hours.

Last February, the Houthis began a major push to seize Marib and have renewed their offensive since September, France 24 reported.

In 2014, the Yemeni civil war began when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, 120 kilometres west of Marib, prompting Saudi-led forces to intervene to prop up the government the following year.

Tens of thousands of people have died and millions have been displaced in what the United Nations has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
