More than 23 Houthi rebels were killed in fighting with the Yemeni pro-government forces on Sunday and Monday, a military news site claimed on Monday. The deaths come as Yemeni troops and pro-government Popular Resistance militias fought the rebels in northern Yemen's Marib province, where the key city of Marib is located. This latest fighting occurred at Al-Kasarah, to the regional capital's west. Government bombing took out six Houthi vehicles, the military news outlet added. The Houthis have not yet confirmed any deaths in the fighting. Marib city and the rest of the province are seen as strategically vital in the ongoing Yemen war. Oil-rich Marib is the final bastion of the internationally-recognised government in north Yemen. The war in Yemen, which broke out in 2014, has been described as the "world's worst humanitarian crisis" by the United Nations.
