[ColonelCassad] A new big video report of the Houthis has been released on the ongoing offensive in South Marib.
Many killed and captured carts, many killed and captured (it should be noted that the wounded are not finished off, but bandaged and taken to the rear), various trophies, plus a very atmospheric piece of video with the storming of a village.
Fighting is now taking place for the mountainous region of Jabal al-Balak, the last major natural obstacle in front of the provincial capital of Marib.

Over 130 Yemen rebels killed in battle for Marib: Coalition
[AlAhram] The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... said Tuesday it has killed over 130 Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

The Iran-backed Huthis rarely comment on the tolls, which have exceeded 3,700 in the past weeks, and AFP cannot independently verify the coalition's figures.
"Sixteen military vehicles were destroyed and more than 130 terrorist elements eliminated" in the latest raids, the coalition said in a statement carried by the Saudi state news agency SPA.
It said the operations were carried out in Marib and al-Bayda provinces.
The Huthis began a major push to seize Marib city in February, and renewed their offensive in September.
There was also reported fighting on a separate front, along Yemen's Red Sea coast after Huthi forces pushed south in recent days.
The coalition said Tuesday they targeted four Huthi positions along the western coast.
A Huthi advance near Yemen's lifeline port of the western province of Hodeida and a Saudi pullback have displaced more than 6,000 people, according to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... On Monday, the coalition said in a statement that the "redeployment and repositioning" of its troops and government forces last week was designed "to support the Yemeni government in its national battle on all fronts".
