The Yemeni army on Tuesday carried out a large-scale offensive against the positions of Saudi-backed militiamen in the western coast of Hodeida province, according to Yemen Press Agency.
A military official disclosed that more than 13 militiamen were killed and 20 injured, militant commanders, during the offensive in Kilo_16 area.
The offensive continued for hours and the coalition warplanes launched 10 strikes on several areas to repel the advance of the army but the enemy failed.
Saudi Arabia and some of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan, launched the brutal war in an attempt to reinstall former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and crush the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has played a significant role, alongside the Yemeni army, in defending the nation.
Some 15,000 Yemenis have so far been killed and thousands more injured as a result of the bloody campaign which has also left a record 22.2 million Yemenis in a dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger, according to UN statistics.
