The Yemeni army and popular committees on Friday foiled a large scale attack of the coalition-backed militants along the western coast of Yemen, a military official told Yemen Press Agency.
Several militants were killed and injured during their attempt to advance towards southern and western parts of Durihami, the official said.
The official added that coalition warplanes and spy aircraft circled the skies over the district during the militant attack.
The assault is said to have lasted six hours but failed to any progress on the ground.
Saudi Arabia and some of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan, launched the brutal war against Yemen in an attempt to reinstall Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has played a significant role, alongside the Yemeni army, in defending the nation.
Some 15,000 Yemenis have so far been killed and thousands more injured. More than 2,200 others have also died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
The imposed war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN has said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
Some Western countries, the United States and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.
