The missile force of the Yemeni army and popular committees destroyed an armored vehicle of Blackwater hirelings in Mareb province, a military official said on Thursday.

The vehicle was targeted with a guided missile while it was carrying out a surveillance task towards the sites of the allied force in Kufal area.

 

The missile hit the armored vehicle directly, killing a number of mercenaries on board.

Yemen has been under airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March 26 last year. The Saudi strikes have been meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power.

 

Nearly 8,280 people, among them 2,236 children, have reportedly been killed and over 16,000 others injured. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
