The Yemeni army and popular committees forces managed to destroy a Saudi Abrams tank in the direction of al-Shorfa site in Najran region, a military official said Friday.
The official explained that specialized units of the army and popular committees destroyed the Saudi tank by using an anti-tank missile.
He added that targeting the tank is a response to the continuous raids of the Saudi-led coalition in several provinces of the country.
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 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 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.
