Saudi Soldiers Killed, Border Cities Come Under Yemeni Fire

Local Editor

Snipers of the national army and popular forces shot died three soldiers in several Saudi enemy military bases deep inside Saudi border cities of Jizan and Najran, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Monday.

Two soldiers were killed in al-Dufinih base in Jizan and another in al-Tala'a site in Najran.

Meanwhile, the artillery of Yemen’s national forces shelled Saudi military gatherings in al-Maqtab, al-Kharshab and northern Kirs Jaubah in Jizan, killing and wounding dozens.

The artillery also hit other Saudi military groups in Alib crossing point and Raqabet al-Hanjer in the Kingdom’s border province of Asir.

The US-backed Saudi air forces, for their part, launched five strikes to back their troops in Jarah valley 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 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.
