More than 100 Yemeni soldiers were killed in a missile attack and a drone attack on a mosque in an army camp in the Ma'rib governorate in central Yemen, attributed to the Houthi rebels, according to medical and military sources announced on Sunday.
The attack targeted the training reception camp and Al-Nasr camp, close to the Al-Farda Mountains of the Naham district, north of the city.
The Yemeni news website, "Marib Press," quoted a military source as saying that "the dead and wounded belong to the presidential protection brigades brigades that were being prepared to go to Aden."
Free sources reported that the attack was carried out with missiles and drones.
Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi condemned the attack, saying it was "a treacherous and cowardly terrorist operation."
The attack occurred after months of relative calm in the war in Yemen between the internationally recognized government and supported by a military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthis.
Yemeni military sources said that the camp is located in the city of Marib, 170 km east of Sanaa, noting that the attack targeted a mosque inside a camp belonging to the Yemeni army, during the evening prayers on Saturday evening.
The Yemeni Foreign Ministry said: "We strongly condemn the terrorist attack on a mosque by the Houthi militia (...), which has left more than 100 dead and dozens wounded."
A medical source at Marib General Hospital confirmed in a previous outcome that 83 soldiers were killed and 148 wounded in the attack that targeted a camp belonging to the Fourth Brigade, a presidential protection.
The attack was the deadliest against government soldiers, since the conflict began in 2014.
"There will be a severe response against the Houthi coup militias," said army spokesman Major-General Abdo al-Majali, noting that the attack had killed among the "civilians".
The attack comes the day after government forces, with the support of the coalition forces, launched a massive military operation against the Houthis in the Nahham area, northeast of Sanaa.
The fighting was still continuing on Sunday, according to what the official Saba news agency quoted a military source as saying, that "there are dozens of dead and wounded members of the Houthi militia."
The war in Yemen has been mainly fought between the Houthis and pro-government forces backed by a military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, since the Houthis took control of large areas of the country more than five years ago.
