The Yemeni army and popular committees managed to capture 11 al-Qaeda extremists who were attempting to advance towards al-Husseini area in Yemen’s Lahj province on Monday.

 

In this context, the Yemeni army and popular committees repelled a major attack launched by al-Qaeda extremists on al-Aaned military base in Lahj, killing scores of them.

Meanwhile, the Saudi warplanes continued striking various Yemeni provinces, causing much losses.

 

Saudi Arabia’s deadly air aggression against Yemen has continued unabated for more than four months.

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN. Based on UN figures, over 3,261 people have been killed, 1,670 of whom were civilians in the Saudi onslaught.

As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters have been responding to the US-led Saudi aggression.
