Retaliatory Attacks Target Mercenaries’ Positions in Bayda

Local Editor

The Yemeni army and popular committees launched two attacks on the Saudi mercenaries' sites in Bayda province, a military official told Saba on Monday.

One attack targeted the Saudi-backed meiltants’ positions in Alagraday district. The other struck sites in Nata district.

The attacked resulted in the killing and injury of scores of mercenaries.

The Saudi aggression was launched in March 2015 in support of Yemen’s former Riyadh-friendly government of president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and against the country’s Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has been running state affairs in the absence of an effective administration.

The offensive has, however, achieved neither of its goals despite the spending of billions of petrodollars and the enlisting of Saudi Arabia's regional and Western allies.
