Two leaders of the Al Houthi militia, Abdullah Hussain Badr Al Deen Al Houthi and Al Badr Hamid Al Deen Al Houthi, were killed in a special operation conducted by the Arab coalition in the Al Houthi stronghold of Saada province in Yemen on Saturday, Saudi TV announced.

Coalition sources said its warplanes launched a series of strikes targeting the forces of Al Houthi and former president Ali Abdullah Saleh at Al Nahdeen camp in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a.

Meanwhile, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator for Yemen said that they are seeking ways to ensure unconditional access to Taiz, a city of about 25,000 residents.

Taiz has been besieged for months by Al Houthis who have been indiscriminately shelling the war-devastated city and blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid, according to aid groups.
