Saudi-led strikes in Yemen ramp up
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Saudi-led coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen doubles its near-daily airstrikes in the central province of Marib and the adjacent border area of Jawf on Monday, paving the way for allies on the ground to push north toward Shiite rebel strongholds, military and security officials say.
There is no immediate word on casualties from the airstrikes.
Marib’s pro-government forces also receive major reinforcements, including hundreds of Saudi-trained troops, ambulances and armored personnel carriers manned by Saudi and Emirati soldiers, the pro-government officials say.
