Fighters from allied Popular Committees and Yemeni army soldiers managed to capture al-Jaberi village in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern border region of Jizan on Friday.

Yemeni forces wrest complete control of al-Jaberi village, located 966 kilometers south of Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on Friday, without any resistance from Saudi Arabia’s army soldiers, al-Masirah satellite television network reported.

An unspecified number of Saudi soldiers were also killed when Yemeni soldiers and fighters from Popular Committees stormed al-Mosfaq military camp in Saudi Arabia’s al-Tawal region.

The development came as Saudi fighter jets pounded al-Nahdin district in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a later in the day, though there were no immediate reports on possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

In addition, there are reports that Saudi-led warplanes have used phosphorus bombs to hit Jabal al-Balaq mountain on the outskirts of Sirwah, which lies about 120 kilometers east of the Yemeni capital.

Saudi-led warplanes also bombarded a stadium in the central Yemeni city of al-Bayda, located about 210 kilometers southeast of Sana’a, but no casualties were immediately reported.

Furthermore, the Saudi military aircraft carried out 15 airstrikes against the city of Harad in Yemen’s northwestern Hajjah province on Friday; however, no reports of casualties were available as wel.

A Saudi missile attack also hit the Munabbih district of Sa’ada.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 192 days now.

On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies backed by the United States began to launch a military aggression against Yemen by launching air strikes against the country in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.

The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.

As a result, the Yemeni army backed by popular committees and tribal fighters has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and cleansing several areas across the country from Hadi and al-Qaeda-linked militias.
