The Yemeni army and popular committees targeted a Saudi warship on Mocha Coast on Saturday as they had struck three other barges earlier.

 

 

In another development, the Yemeni forces also regained control over several towns and mountain ranges in Lahj, Taiz and other provinces in Yemen after expelling al-Qaeda extremists.

Furthermore, they launched a retaliatory attack on a military site in the Saudi city of Jizan in response to the ongoing Saudi Arabian-led aggression against the impoverished country. 

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.

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

The aggression began in a bid to restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia, as well as to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

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.
