Local Editor

The artillery of the Yemeni army and popular forces targeted Saudi positions, their military vehicles and their mercenaries in several military camps deep inside the border province of Asir, a local Yemeni military official reported on Saturday.

The shelling targeted the enemy gatherings in the Rakabat Alzaj area as well as around the city of Rabuah.

The enemy vehicles were targeted in Rabuah, Hanjar and Alzag, the Alb border crossing.

Meanwhile, the army' snipers gunned down a Saudi solder in Rabuah city.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 12,000 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
