More than 190 Houthis were killed in airstrikes on the Yemeni provinces of Marib, Al-Bayda, and Taiz, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy said on Thursday.
The coalition said 29 military vehicles were also destroyed during the operations over the last 24 hours.
Dozens of Houthis have been killed in the central province of Marib as government troops rolled into a new area in Abedia district for the first time in months, adding to the latest military gains in the province, a local military official say from Marib.
The Houthi militia killed seven civilians, including a woman, and wounded 36 others in a missile attack on a neighbourhood in Yemen’s Marib, Al-Arabiya TV reported.
The Yemeni Minister of Information Muammar Al-Eryani condemned the attack through a series of tweets. He said the massacre was a war crime and an act of revenge after the recent defeats and losses the Houthis suffered.
Local media reports said that warplanes from the Coalition intensified airstrikes on Houthi targets in Abedia district, apparently to prepare the ground for government troops to advance into the strategic district, reports Arab News.
This week, government forces seized control of most of the district of Hareb, including the town of Hareb, inflicting a major military blow to the Houthis .
