The Houthis began a major push to seize Marib, the internationally recognized government’s last bastion in oil-rich northern Yemen, in February, and have renewed their offensive in recent weeks after a lull.

The Houthis said they had taken control of several fronts around Marib, including Abdiya, which lies about 60 miles south of the city.
