The Yemeni army and popular committees bombed a Saudi weapons store behind Shurfah site in Saudi-Arabia’s Najran, a military source said on Monday.

The military units also managed to destroy a Saudi Abrams tank in Najran, the source said.

It further pointed out that the artillery of the army and popular committees bombed a gathering of the Saudi soldiers, Mihdhar camp and the government compound in Rabua’a area in Asir.

 

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26 in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.

The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].

As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked militias.
