A number of Saudi-backed militias were killed on Sunday in Khab and al-Sha’af district of Jawf province, a military official said.

The official added that the Yemeni army and popular committees targeted a military vehicle in al-Khalefain area with two guided missiles.

The military vehicle was destroyed, killing and injuring militiamen aboard.

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.
