Around 14 Saudi-backed militants were killed by the Yemeni army and popular committees in Mareb province, a military official said Tuesday.

The allied forces launched a unique military operation to clear a number of sites in Serwah district in Mareb.

According to the official, one of the leaders of the Brigade 203, the so-called Ali al-Marhabi, was also killed in the district.

The official added that 16 other militiamen were injured in the military operation in Serwah.

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.
