Scores of Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi were killed and injured on Tuesday southwest of the al-Durayhimi district in Yemen’s western coastal province of Hodeida, when Yemeni soldiers and allied fighters from Popular Committees repelled the former’s assault.
Elsewhere in the Nihm district of Sana’a province, an unspecified number of Saudi mercenaries were killed and injured when Yemeni troopers and their allies thwarted their offensive.
Yemeni army forces and Popular Committees fighters also managed to establish control over two observation outposts in the same Saudi region.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Hadi back to power and crushing the country’s popular Ansarullah movement.
Some 15,000 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression.
More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
