Saudi-led coalition in Yemen intensifies strikes against Houthi fighters

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said Monday it had killed 150 Huthi rebels near Marib, as fierce fighting raged for the strategic city in a war that has lasted seven years. The latest toll takes to more than 1,100 the number of rebels the coalition says it has killed in the past week around Abdiya which is about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from Marib, the internationally recognised government's last bastion in oil-rich northern Yemen.
