The Yemeni forces also fired a number of missiles at the Saudi military bases in the Asir region in the southwestern province of Dhahran al-Janub in Saudi Arabia.
Also, in a separate development, Yemeni forces managed to repel an attack by Saudi soldiers to regain control of the Saudi military base of al-Maqroq in southwestern province of Najran. The Yemeni forces, along with Popular Committees, have previously taken control of the base, destroyed two Saudi tanks and killed a number of Saudi soldiers.
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States launched an aggression against Yemen in late March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters have been responding to the US-led Saudi aggression.
The aggression began in an attempt to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia, and to undermine Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement which is currently responding to the attacks on the country.
