Yemeni military adviser assassinated in Marib
SANAA, Yemen (AA) – An adviser to the Yemeni defense minister was assassinated in the central Marib province on Tuesday, according to a military source.
Gunmen opened fire on Brigadier General Mohammad al-Jaradi as he was driving to Marib city, the source said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The driver was also killed in the attack.
The Yemeni Defense Ministry confirmed the assassination, saying he was killed in a terrorist operation.
There was no claim of responsibility for the assassination.
Al-Jaradi was a founder of the Yemeni army in 2015.
Yemen has been engulfed by violence since 2014, when Iran-aligned Houthi rebels captured much of the country, including the capital, Sanaa.
