While the Houthi militia media said that its gunmen shot down a Saudi drone, on Monday, in the Medghal district of the Marib governorate, activists from the National Army recruits belonging to the Brotherhood in the Defense and Staff Authority in Marib circulated news about the killing of 14 recruits from the Seventh Military Region, whom they say were killed in air strikes.
Although the military sources deny identifying the source, and whether it was a Houthi drone or by mistake from the coalition aircraft, the activists attacked both the “Chief of the General Staff and the Saudi Aviation,” and said that the dead were an intentional coordinated action between Major General “Saghir Aziz, “Chief of the General Staff and the Saudi forces, as part of the permanent campaign waged by the Brotherhood in Marib against the Chief of the General Staff, who does not belong to them.
A tribal source told NewsYemen that shelling targeted members of a battalion of the 129th Infantry Brigade, killing six soldiers and wounding 14 others, and said that those present did not hear any sound before they were exposed to the explosion.
The Brotherhood sources in Marib had reported constant accusations of conspiring against the seventh military region, which is almost a closed area against the "Brotherhood army", and despite the Brotherhood's logistical control of the third region and the continued transfer of its forces from the fighting areas in Marib to Shabwa under the direction of the Brotherhood, The Brotherhood says that the Saudi leadership of the coalition and the General Staff provides greater support to the third region, while it does not support the seventh region, which is fighting in Al-Jawf and what is left of Sana'a near Marib.
