The Yemeni army backed by the Popular Committees continued to pound Saudi military posts in the border areas between the two countries in retaliation for the US-led Saudi aggression on Yemen.

Several Saudi soldiers were killed and injured on Sunday as the Yemeni allied forces shelled Jalah military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern province of Jizan, Yemeni sources said. 

Meanwhile, the joint forces also managed to seize and destroy Saudi vehicles.

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since March 26. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].

The US-led Saudi aggression began in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to the country’s fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.

As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked militias.
