Houthi missile on Yemen's Marib kills five people and wounds 23 others, a day after UAE-trained militia claimed expelling rebels from the oil-rich region
Fresh attack comes a day after pro-government and UAE-trained militia claimed taking over Harib, a district south of the Marib region, from Houthis.
Marib, an oil-rich province of the same name, is the government's last northern stronghold, and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels have been fighting to seize it for months. The clashes are part of a major escalation in the seven-year war after the Houthis, following a series of territorial defeats, launched a deadly drone-and-missile attack on the UAE last week.
Wednesday's attack on Marib came two days after the insurgents' latest missile attack on the UAE capital Abu Dhabi, and more than a week after three people were killed in the first deadly attack on UAE soil claimed by Houthis and acknowledged by the Emiratis.
