Yemeni Army Retaliates

Local Editor

In retaliation to the deadly Saudi military campaign, Yemen’s army and fighters of the popular committees launched mortar and rocket attacks against a number of Saudi bases in the kingdom’s southern province of Najran, killing at least one Saudi soldier in the Kers military base.

The Yemeni forces also destroyed a military vehicle in the Saudi military base of Qenas in Najran.

Elsewhere, in Yemen’s Jawf province, at least two Saudi mercenaries were killed by Yemeni troops.

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.
