Sixty soldiers killed in Houthi attack on camp

At least 60 soldiers were killed on Saturday in a ballistic missile attack by Houthi rebels on a Saudi-led coalition military base in Yemen's northeastern province of Marib, Saudi state television said on Saturday evening. The attack came when the soldiers were gathering in the main ground of the base at sunset. There was no immediate comment from the Houthis. Previous missile attacks on military bases in Marib were claimed by the Houthi group. The Arab coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in March 2015 to support the government of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi against the Houthis who stormed the capital Sanaa and controlled much of the country's north in late 2014.
