SANAA, Sept 11 (NNN-YPA) – The Yemeni Houthi militia pulled 25 of their fighters from a frontline in Marib province and moved them to mortuaries in the capital, Sanaa, yesterday, medics at two public hospitals said.
“They were killed on Thursday, in fighting with government troops, in the frontline of Rahabah district,” one of the medics said.
The Houthis on Tuesday pulled 33 bodies from the same frontline, according to other medics.
Last week, the Houthis advanced into al-Kulah, the centre town of Rahabah district, after deadly fighting with government troops.
Fighting in Yemen’s western part of Marib is still ongoing, according to military sources.
The Houthi militia launched in Feb, a major offensive on Marib, in an attempt to seize control of the oil-rich province, the last northern stronghold of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.– NNN-YPA
