3 dead in strikes on Yemen’s Marib

Strikes on Yemen’s city of Marib on Sunday killed a woman and two children and wounded at least 30 other people, military sources said, blaming Iran-backed Houthi rebels for the attack.

Two Houthi missile strikes hit a residential area in the city, they told AFP, adding six women and five children were among the wounded. The tolls were confirmed by medical sources. Hundreds of insurgents and pro-government troops have died in recent weeks after the Iranbacked rebels renewed their campaign for Marib, the government’s last stronghold in the north.
