Army Retaliates in Najran & Jizan

Local Editor

The Yemeni army and popular forces hit gatherings of Saudi soldiers in several military sites in Najran and Jizan province, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Wednesday.

The artillery hit the gatherings in military sites of Al Hamer hilltop in Najran and Malhamah in Jizan.

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 12,000 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.
