The Saudi-backed Hadi loyalist launched an offensive inside the Jawf Governorate of northern Yemen, targeting Houthi positions the Anbara Mountains near the Kingdom's border.
Despite air support from Saudi jets, Hadi forces were unable to make any headway in the Anbara Mountains, as their forces ended up losing several combatants as a result of this attack.
According to Houthi media, their forces managed to destroy several armored vehicles during the massive retreat by Hadi loyalists. The Saudi-backed forces have repeatedly attempted to bypass the Houthi defenses in this region; however, they have failed every time.
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.
