The Yemeni army and popular forces repelled a mercenaries’ attempt to advance toward al-Dhaif Mountain in Taiz province, a military official said on Monday.
The operation took places on Sunday when the militants carried out attacks in order to infiltrate toward the army and popular forces` positions.
The attack resulted in the death and injury of dozens of mercenaries as well as the destruction of several military vehicles.
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.
