DUBAI: Yemen’s army killed three leaders of the Iran-backed Houthi militia on Saturday on the frontier of Al-Bayda district in central Yemen, Saudi state-news agency SPA reported.
“The three leaders were killed in violent clashes between the Yemeni army and the Popular Resistance on the one hand and the militia on the other hand,” a Yemeni field source said in a statement issued on the defense ministry’s official website “September 26”.
The military front has witnessed continuous battles since last month in which the army was able to take control of large areas and reach the outskirts of the Wahbiya Directorate in Al-Bayda.

Iran security chief meets Oman ruler after US talks
MUSCAT: Iran’s top security official met Oman’s ruler in Muscat on Tuesday, days after a new round of talks there between officials from Washington and Tehran.
Ali Larijani, who heads the Supreme National Security Council, and Sultan Haitham bin Tariq “discussed the latest developments in the Iranian-American negotiations,” the official Oman News Agency said.
Larijani was also due to meet Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, who mediated Friday’s indirect talks between US and Iranian officials.
Larijani and Sultan Haitham also explored “ways to reach a balanced and just agreement between the two sides, and emphasized the importance of returning to the table of dialogue and negotiation.”
Larijani will head to Qatar after Oman, according to Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei.
The trip comes after Iran and the United States resumed dialogue in Oman on Friday for the first time since the 12-day Iran-Israel war last June, which was briefly joined by the US military.
