The artillery force of the Yemeni army on Saturday shelled the positions of the Saudi-backed militiamen in the western coast of Hodeida province, a military official told Yemen Press Agency.

The shelling targeted military sites in the south of Kilo16 area, inflicting heavy losses in lives and equipment.

Saudi Arabia backs Yemen’s resigned Hadi regime and has since March 2015 led a coalition battling the country’s Houthi revolutionaries.

Yemen’s stalemated three-year war has killed over 10,000 people and devastated the country’s infrastructure. The Saudi-led coalition faces widespread international criticism over airstrikes that kill civilians.
