ADEN, Feb 20 (NNN-YPA) – Yemen’s Houthi group, launched an explosive-laden drone against a school in the country’s northern oil-rich province of Marib yesterday, a government official said.
“Several students were critically injured, when a Houthi explosive-laden drone struck their school, in the government-controlled province of Marib,” the local government source said.
He clarified that the Houthi drone hit the primary school of Harib district in Marib, while the students were leaving their classes.
Meanwhile, Yemeni state-run Saba news agency reported that, at least three students were injured, as a result of the Houthi drone attack in Marib.
Last Jan, the pro-government Giants Brigades launched a large-scale military operation and expelled the Houthi militia out from Marib’s district of Harib, following ferocious battles.
The Houthis are still launching sporadic military operations against Marib, in an attempt to control the whole strategic province, that includes the country’s largest oil and gas fields.
