Yemeni Army Targets Saudi-paid Mercenaries in Mokha

Local Editor

Dozens of Saudi-paid aggression mercenaries were killed and others injured in missile strike by the Yemeni army and popular forces in Taiz province, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Thursday.

The national army hit the mercenaries off Al-Jaded village in Mokha.

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 11,403 people have been killed and over 19,343 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.
