Heavy Fighting Reported In Yemen

 

France 24: Dozens killed as Houthi rebels target last government stronghold in Yemen 

Dozens were killed in overnight clashes in Yemen as Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensified attacks to seize the government's last northern stronghold, officials said Sunday. 

Earlier this month, the Houthis resumed an offensive to seize oil-rich Marib, some 120 kilometres (75 miles) east of the capital Sanaa. 

The city's loss would be disastrous for Yemen's beleaguered leadership. 

Two government military officials said at least 16 pro-government forces were killed and 21 wounded in the past 24 hours, adding that "dozens were killed" among Houthi ranks.
