Army Repulses Militant Advance in Serwah

Local Editor

The Yemeni army and popular committees repulsed on Thursday an attempt by the Saudi-paid mercenaries to advance towards Serwah district of Mareb province, a military official said.

The failed attempt towards the military sites in Wadi Rabe’ah resulted in some mercenaries killed or injured.

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.
