Brigadier General Abdul Ghani Salman, Commander of the Officers Affairs Department of the former president Hadi’s government was killed this morning (Wednesday) in a missile attack carried out by the Yemeni armed forces and allied fighters from Popular Committees.
The Riyadh-backed Hadi government's senior commander was killed when the Yemeni Army struck pro-Hadi Defense Ministry with a ballistic missile in the city of Marib, according to Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV.
In the meantime, Al-Mayadeen's report added that the counterattack by Saudi-backed pro-Hadi militants to retake the al-Talaa al-Hamra district near Marib failed despite air support by Saudi fighters and that the pro-Hadi militants were killed and wounded.
The Yemeni Share website also reported that the missile attack took place at 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday and that in addition to "Abdul Ghani Salman", a number of other high-ranking commanders of the former president's government were also killed.
Two days ago, Colonel "Abdullah Al-Hazeri", the director of judicial affairs department of the Hadi government's army, was also killed in the suburb of Marib.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Samir al-Nimri said in a report on Monday that the Yemeni army and Ansarullah forces will definitely take Marib and it was just a matter of time.
