The Yemeni army and poplar forces shot dead two paid-Saudi mercenaries in Bait Mazal al-Shagab in Dhbab district of Taiz province, an army official said on Monday.

Meanwhile, the army and popular forces fired artillery shells on mercenary gathering in Hareqiah village in Dhbab district, killing and wounding dozens of them.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 11,403 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
