The Yemeni army and popular committees on Monday repulsed an attempt by the Saudi-backed militants to advance towards al-Hawal Mount in the southeast of Nehm district of Mareb province, a local official said.
A number of the militiamen were killed or injured in the attempt.
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.
