DUBAI: Arab coalition jets killed around 50 Houthi militants in raids in Lahij and Al-Baydah provinces in southern and central Yemen, Saudi state-news channel Al-Ekhbariya reported.

A military official said that the raids targeted the Houthi militia in Jabal Al-Madwar, which has a strategic view of the highway linking Lahij and southern Taiz, killing 30 militants.

Elsewhere, at least 17 Houthis were killed in clashes along Al-Baydah while trying to infiltrate Yemeni army positions.
