The Yemeni army backed by the popular committee on Saturday shelled the positions of coalition-backed militants at Mafalees area in Hifan district in Yemen’s Taiz province, Yemen Press Agency reported.
According to a military source, the shelling left dozens of militants dead and wounded.
The Yemeni army stepped up its military offensive against Saudi-led coalition forces and their militias in a response to war crimes and massacres committed against the Yemeni civilians.
Some 15,000 Yemenis have so far been killed and thousands more injured. More than 2,200 others have also died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
The imposed war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN has said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
Some Western countries, the United States and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.
