The Yemeni national army announced the killing of eight Houthi leaders in military confrontations in the West coast.

Military sources said the eight leaders are prominent military commanders of the pro-Iranian militias who were killed in the West Coast of Yemen during intense fighting, adding that the Houthi militias acknowledged their recent killing though at the beginning it kept silent about their fate.

On Friday, the Yemeni army backed by the Arab coalition, said it continued advancing in several districts of the governorate of Saada, taking control of new posts which were under the control of the Houthi militias, particularly in the districts of Zaher, Baqim and Kataf.
