DUBAI: Nearly 80 rebels and pro-government troops have been killed in fighting for the strategic Yemeni city of Marib, loyalist military sources told AFP on Wednesday.

“Sixty Huthi rebels were killed – most of them in air strikes conducted in the last 24 hours – while 18 pro-government troops were killed and dozens injured in clashes over the past 48 hours,” a government military official said.
