Earlier today, Al Mayadeen correspondent in Sanaa reported that about 20 members of the Saudi-appointed Presidential Council forces were killed and wounded in clashes that took place with the Yemeni Armed Forces and Popular Committees in Al-Akd area in the Wadi Ubaidah district, southeast of Marib, which is rich in oil and gas in northeastern Yemen.
