At least ten Saudi mercenaries were killed in violent clashes with the Yemeni army and popular committees in Shabwa province, a military official said Monday.
Tens of the militants were wounded in the clashes taken place in Usailan district on Sunday.
Two military vehicles of the mercenaries were destroyed, the official said.
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 10,000 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.
