5 killed in missile strike in Marib town of Yemen

Five people were killed and 22 wounded in a fierce strike by Houthis in Yemen's Marib town.
Reuters news agency reported on Tuesday, the news agency SABA said.

The city, 120km east of Sana, is under the control of Yemen's internationally recognized President Abd Rabboo Mansur Hadi.

SABA's report said, "Iran-supported Hutori Qatusa launched a popular populist market in Marib's city center, killing five people and injuring 22."

In support of the Saudi Arab-led Arab coalition, the Hadi government is fighting against the Iranian-based Houthi group. The fight since 2015 has taken the country to the edge of famine.
