A key Houthi commander was killed in an airstrike over Sirwah city in Ma'rib governorate, Yemeni security sources said on Wednesday.
Medical sources said Ismail Mohamed Ali al Sha'bani - aka Abu Jihad - succumbed to the wounds he sustained on Monday when warplanes shelled his car, the Arabic-speaking Sky News channel reported on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, military field sources said 10 militias of Houthis and ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh were killed and others injured during clashes with government forces in Sirwah.
Yemen, which is on the southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, has been engulfed in civil war since September 2014, when the Houthis swept into the capital of Sanaa and overthrew President Abed-Rabbo Mansour Hadi's internationally recognized government.
In March 2015, a Saudi-led coalition began a campaign in support of Hadi. Since then, the Iranian-backed Houthis have been dislodged from most of the south, but remain in control of Sanaa and much of the north.
