Yemen Launches Missile Attack on Saudi-backed Mercenaries in Midi

Local Editor

The Yemeni army and popular committees' missile force bombarded positions of the Saudi-backed mercenaries in the north of Midi desert, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Saturday.

The rockets hit their targets accurately, killing and injuring dozens.

Meanwhile, Saudi fighter jets launched 15 air raids on Harad and Midi districts.

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.
