Yemeni Army Launches Retaliatory Attacks

Local Editor

In retaliation for the deadly attacks, snipers of the Yemeni army and popular committees shot dead two Saudi soldiers in the military bases of al-Shabakeh and al-Faridah in the kingdom’s southwestern region of Jizan on Friday.

Also in Jizan, Yemeni artillery shells hit the military bases of Marbah and al-Dukhan.

Yemeni troops also fired Grad rockets at several military positions in the kingdom’s region of Asir.

There were no immediate reports of possible casualties among the Saudi military men.

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.
