The US-led Saudi aggression units sustained heavy casualties on Saturday in fierce battle against the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees in Taiz near Bab al-Mandeb Strait and retreated from the region.
Four armored vehicles of the Saudi-led coalition were also destroyed.
The Saudi-led forces launched an offensive on the Yemeni positions near the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait on Friday, but were repelled after sustaining heavy casualties in the Yemeni forces’ counteroffensive.
According to the latest reports, they said that the Saudi-led coalition forces have been pounding Yemeni army positions in the region with massive missile and airstrikes ever since the retreat.
In a similar development, the Yemeni national military and the Committees shot down a Saudi helicopter and drone in the western part of the country.
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 carrying out 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.
