A military source in the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the explosion which occurred in the center of Marib province yesterday caused by clashes between the Saudi-paid paid fighters.

Marib is the scene of clashes leaving many dead and wounded in the dispute over the distribution of the Saudi funds.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a coalition of its regional allies — mainly the united Arab Emirates and Jordan — started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people later, the war has yielded little to that effect.
