Eighty militants of the Houthi and the ousted Ali Abdulla Saleh militias were killed and tens others were injured in clashes with the Yemeni army and the resistance group, and an airstrike carried by the Arab coalition in the western side of Taiz south of the capital Sana'a.
According to a Yemeni military source, the clashes that took place during the past 24 hours in conjunction with intensive air raids by the Arab coalition resulted in the death of 80 members of the militias, including field leaders, and wounded dozens of others.
