The artillery units of the Yemeni army and popular forces pounded the positions of the Saudi-paid mercenaries in al-Wazaaih district of Taiz province, a military official said on Thursday.
The artillery hit the target directly, causing heavy casualties among the Saudi-backed troops and their equipment.
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.
