Air strikes by Saudi-led coalition kill at least 95 Houthi rebels over the past 24 hours around Yemen's strategic city of Marib
The Houthis began a major push to seize Marib in February, and have renewed their offensive since September after a lull.
A statement on Thursday said the coalition carried out 22 operations targeting rebels in two districts near Marib that "killed 95 terrorists and damaged 11 military vehicles". The latest strikes would bring to around 2,000 the number of Houthis the coalition says it has killed around Marib since October 11. Marib, capital of the oil-rich province of the same name, is the internationally recognised government's last bastion in northern Yemen.
The Houthis began a major push to seize Marib in February and, after a lull, they have renewed their offensive in recent weeks.Tens of thousands have been displaced in the province this year, including nearly 10,000 in September alone, the UN's migration agency IOM told AFP Thursday.
