Marib a key battlefield between Iranian-allied Houthi militia and a Saudi arab led coalition

Tribesmen loyal to Yemen’s government ride a truck in Marib city, the provincial capital of the central Yemeni province of Marib, September 17, 2015. The oil-producing province of Marib has become a key battlefield between Iranian-allied Houthi militia and a coalition of Yemenis and Emirati, Saudi and Bahraini troops. Marib forms a gateway to the Yemeni capital Sanaa 120 km (75 miles) to the west, which the Houthis seized last year.
