Yemeni Army Retaliates in Lahij

Local Editor

The Yemeni army artillery and popular committees targeted a gathering of Saudi-backed mercenaries in Lahij province, a security official said on Thursday.

The shelling hit the positions in east Kahbob, accurately hitting the target.

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.
