In retaliation for the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen, the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees managed to storm the Saudi Dhaba’ military post in Saudi Arabia’s Dhahran-Asir on Sunday and to seize control over it, after destroying all its vehicles and the garrison escaped.

Additionally, the national military foiled an attempt by a group of Saudi soldiers to redeploy in Al-Shurfa post, several days after they had fled the area due to army blows.

In a similar development, the army forces destroyed a Saudi military vehicle in Jalah post in Jizan border area, by targeting it with an anti-tank missile.

Furthermore, units of the Popular Committees and army shelled Najran military forces command in Najran and the Thowaila military post in Dhahran-Asir. 

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN. The death toll of civilians has risen to at least 1,916, with another 4,186 civilians wounded since the escalation of the conflict in March, according to the United Nations [UN] recently last week.

As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters have been responding to the US-led Saudi aggression.
