The artillery forces of the Yemeni army and popular committees on Tuesday shelled gatherings of Saudi-backed militants in the Saudi southern border province, a military official told Yemen Press Agency.
The artillery shells hit militants’ gatherings in Raqabat Marash site, causing direct casualties in their ranks, the official added.
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.
