The Yemeni state-run Al-Masira TV channel broadcast video images on Sunday of the recent storming of the Saudi Al-Makhrooq military post on the borders between Saudi Arabia and Yemen amid the ongoing Saudi aggression on the impoverished country. 

The footages showed the moment the Yemeni forces and the Popular Committees opened fire at a Saudi tank, which was directly hit by an anti-tank rocket, in response to the deadly airstrikes that Saudi Arabia has been carrying out against Yemen since March. 

Some members of the tank crew fell to the ground, while others fled away.

Following the attack, which occurred on Friday, the Yemeni army and the Committees stormed the post and fired a B29-type rocket at another Saudi tank, destroying it completely.

The video also showed shelling of rockets at different Saudi military points.

The development marked the third operation that targeted Al-Makhrooq post.

Moreover, the Yemeni national military forces managed on Monday to destroy a Saudi tank deployed in Al-Rmeih army post in Jizan province.

A Saudi-led coalition, backed by the United States, has been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.

The Yemeni army, backed by popular committees and tribal fighters have been responding to the US-led Saudi aggression.
