The Yemeni army and popular committees killed nine Saudi soldiers in Midi district and other military sites in Jizan region, a military official said on Saturday.
The official explained that the snipers of the army and committees shot dead seven Saudi soldiers in the desert and coast of Midi district and one soldier in the west of Matha’an area and another in Ma’naq area 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 8,300 people have been killed and over 16,000 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.
