The Yemeni army and the Popular Committee units destroyed several LeClerc-type tanks used by the invading Emirati forces in Yemen during the last three days by firing Russian-made Kornet missiles.

Military sources said that a "major Emirati holocaust" took place in Karsh and Al-Mseimir regions in Yemen’s southeast province of Lahj.

LeClerc is a French-made main battle tank known as AMX-56 LeClerc, and the UAE is largely dependent on it in attacks on Yemen.

Another massacre of UAE tanks occurred in Al-Nasr camp in Khor-Maksar region of Aden city, and on the Al-Alam road located between Aden and Abyan provinces in the south, as well as inside Abyan city.

Furthermore, the sources also revealed that the losses of the Emirati forces during the last 72 hours were more than 32 armored vehicles, 14 tanks and 23 military vehicles, in addition to 38 soldiers and 8 officers killed.

The sources elaborated that, "Special operations unit of the army and the Committees are working within units behind the lines of deployment of the Emirati invading forces in the cities of Aden, Abyan and Lahj".

"The major surprises are coming soon and will be earth-shattering. The enemy will only enjoy a defeat that will rupture his army," the sources in the national Yemeni military forces vowed.

Since March, a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemen. 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.
