At Least 20 Dead as Rebel Rockets Hit Market in Yemen's Marib
[AnNahar] Iran-backed rebels fired Katyusha rockets at a busy market in Yemen's eastern city of Marib killing at least 20 people on Friday, medics and witnesses said."Twenty non-combatants were killed and dozens maimed" in the attack, a medical official said. Witnesses said the scenic provincial capital's market was targeted. The attack came hours after a Saudi-led coalition air strike killed seven rebels in Marib, where Apache helicopters have also joined the fight against Huthi Shiite Death Eaters and their allies. The coalition strike targeted a military vehicle used by the rebels in Marib province, while other air raids targeted rebel positions in neighbouring Shabwa, military sources said.
