SANAA, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition backing the Yemeni government launched six airstrikes overnight on Houthi positions in Yemen's central province of Marib, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported Saturday.
The Friday night attack targeted sites in the districts of Jabal Murad and Joubah, the television said, without providing more details.
There were no comments from the coalition or the Yemeni government.
The coalition has regularly targeted the Houthi militia to prevent them from advancing on the government stronghold.
The districts are located in the far north and west of the government-held province, few miles to the east of the Houthi-held capital Sanaa.
Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014 when the Iran-backed Houthis seized several northern provinces and forced the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa.
The Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in 2015 to support the government. Enditem
