Twenty-four Houthi rebels were killed in Hudaydah province in western Yemen in the last 24 hours, the Yemeni army told Anadolu Agency late Tuesday.
The rebels were killed after they tried to infiltrate Sanaa road and Kilo 16 region in the east of Hudaydah province, according to Memun al-Mehjemi, spokesperson for the army’s al-Amalika Brigade, who said tens of other Houthi militias were injured during clashes.
Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital, Sanaa.
