Houthis detain dozens of opponents in Sanaa

SANAA: Yemeni security officials say Shiite rebels in the capital have raided the homes of political opponents and local NGO workers, claiming they are affiliated with the Daesh group and Al-Qaeda.
The officials, who are neutral in a conflict that has splintered the security forces, said Monday the raids began a day earlier. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief journalists.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition has sent military support to forces loyal to the internationally recognized President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in the eastern province of Marib, according to Al Arabiya Channel.
If pro-government forces manage to push the Houthis out of Marib, they could potentially advance rapidly across Jawf, a flat, desert province bordering Saudi Arabia that is also a gateway to Saada.
