DUBAI: Dozens of Iran-backed Houthi militants have been killed and several others wounded in attacks by the Yemeni army in the Al-Bayda governate, Saudi state-news channel Al-Ekhbariya reported.
A Yemeni military source said that the skirmishes between the army and the militia members were concentrated between the mountains of Al-Faliq and Masouda.
