The Yemeni army and the Popular Committees foiled an attempt by the US-led Saudi aggression to advance towards the Al-Bayda’ province in central Yemen on Monday.

Attacking forces- joined by al-Qaeda extremists and armed mercenaries- tried to advance towards Al-Bayda’ city before falling into the ambush of Yemeni forces in the point located between Abyan and Bayda’ provinces, sources said.

The Yemeni national units thwarted the operation, leaving scores of the enemy elements killed and wounded, after they destroyed two Saudi armored vehicles and seized 6 other Emirati vehicles that were used during the attack on Aden city in Yemen.

Furthermore, in a similar development, a unit of the Yemeni forces managed to directly hit a Saudi fighter tank deployed in al-Khoba site, where the fighters sneaked into the Saudi military post and targeted a tanks assembly point.

They also managed to destroy a Saudi tank and to set another armored vehicle ablaze.

In the Najran border area, Yemeni fighters fired guided missiles on an Abrams tank with 5 Saudi soldiers on board.

In addition, three Saudi tanks were targeted and destroyed on the border area with Yemen near al-Makhrooq military post.

The Yemeni missile unit also pounded Saudi military posts in Jizan and Dhahran Assir areas with dozens of rockets.

In the meantime, more security achievements were made in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, when security forces raided the house Gen. Ali al-Ahmar and seized a large quantity of weapons and ammunition.

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching deadly airstrikes against the country since March. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.

As a result, Yemeni forces have been responding to the attacks.
