Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries and allied army units are fighting back the Saudi invaders and their mercenaries.
A number of such mercenaries were killed and injured as the Yemeni forces launched rocket attacks at the militants’ positions in the district of Dhubab of Taiz.
However, media outlets affiliated to Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who has resigned as Yemen’s president, claimed 16 Ansarullah fighters and seven pro-Hadi militants were killed in the clashes in Taiz.
Saudi Arabia has pounded Yemen almost daily since March 2015. The offensive was launched to restore Hadi - a Saudi ally - to power.
In retaliation for the Saudi assaults, the Yemeni army also fired a Qaher 1 ballistic missile at the Abha regional airport in the Saudi region of Asir early on Tuesday, according to Yemen’s al-Masirah website.
However, the Yemen 24 news website cited the Saudi defense ministry as claiming that the army intercepted the missile.
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.
