From the Lebanese news site "Naharnet":

The Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen said Wednesday it has killed 145 Huthi rebels in 24 hours in air raids near Marib, the final northern stronghold of pro-government forces.

The coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognized government, has reported near-daily strikes over the past three weeks that it claims have now inflicted more than 2,000 lives among the Iran-backed Huthi rebels.

But the insurgents, who have for months waged an offensive against the government stronghold, rarely comment on losses, and AFP can not independently verify the tolls.

"Eighteen military vehicles have been destroyed and 145" insurgents killed in the latest 24 hours, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement published by Saudi Arabia's official SPA press agency.

The rebels were killed in raids in the Sirwah district, east of Marib city, it added.

The coalition has since October 11 issued near-daily reports of bombing around Marib, saying it has killed a total of around 2,450 insurgents in the area.
