26 people killed in mosque attack in Yemen’s Marib

Dubai: Twenty-six people were killed in an attack on a mosque during Friday prayers inside a military base in Yemen’s Marib province, local officials said.

Two missiles were fired at the mosque located inside the military camp of Kofal in the west of Marib after a rocket was fired, the officials said.

Most of Marib is under the control of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Iran-allied Al Houthis are battling his internationally-recognised government.
