The missile and artillery forces of the Yemeni army and popular forces fired at positions of Saudi soldiers in military locations in Jizan, Asir and Najran provinces on Saturday, a military official stated.

The national forces fired locally made Zilzal missile at the positions in Al Mabkarh, Al Mhrok and Al Bidah sites in Jizan as well as Al Kawia military site.

The shelling also targeted other groupings of the Saudi soldiers in Dukhan mountain and Al Twal region, inflicting heavy losses among coalition forces’ ranks and equipment.

The army also fired Katyusha rockets at Siaba military center in Asir, Sila, and Blialin military camp in Najran, the official added.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni troops hit Saudi soldiers and their equipment behind Al Zour site in Najran and fired at Saudi military equipment behind Ragaba Al Sudais, burning military vehicles and killing dozens of soldiers.

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.
