The Yemeni army and popular committees destroyed a Saudi armored vehicle in Najran, killing its crew, a military official said on Saturday.

The Saudi vehicle was ruined by an improvised explosive device in al-Shorfa military site in Najran, the official explained, adding that the army and committees bombed Najran with barrages of missiles.

Snipers of the army and committees also shot dead a Saudi soldier in the west of al-Tewal border outlet.

A Saudi troop carrier was also destroyed by an explosive device in the south of al-Manaq area.

The missile and artillery forces pounded Saudi locations in Bait al-Mashqar, Jahfan, al-Ataya al-Sharqia, Sharqan, al-Jaboh, al-Mazab checkpoint, Kross and Jobah in Jizan province, causing the enemy large damage and losses.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
