Local Editor

The Yemeni army’s artillery and popular committees targeted a gathering of Saudi aggression mercenaries in Thu-Bab district of Taiz province, a security official said on Thursday.

The shelling hit the gathering in Al-Hariqih village in South Thu-Bab, hitting the target accurately.

Meanwhile, the allied forces targeted a gathering of Saudi-backed militants in the mountain chain at the same district, killing many mercenaries and injuring dozens of others.

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 11,400 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.
