Local Editor

Six Saudi-backed militiamen were killed and three others injured including a Front leader of al- Ghayl Ahmed Abdullah Muhsin in a retaliatory attack by the Yemeni army in Jawf province.

The militants were killed and wounded when they tried to advance towards al-Mgath area in al- Ghayl district.

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 10,000 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.
