CAIRO, Jun 7 (NNN-MENA) – Egypt condemned “in the strongest terms” the recent deadly missile attack launched by the Houthi rebels, against Yemen’s oil-rich province of Marib, said the Egyptian Foreign Ministry yesterday.
“Egypt also affirmed its support for the Yemeni government, reiterating its call for ceasing these reprehensible attacks, while seeking to uphold the interests of Yemen and its people,” it added.
A Yemeni official said, on Saturday that, the Houthi-fired missile landed on a fuel station in Marib, causing huge explosions and leaving at least 17 people dead.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since the late 2014, when the Houthi rebels seized control of several northern provinces and forced the internationally recognised government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, out of the capital, Sanaa.– NNN-MENA
