Dozens of Saudi-paid militants were killed and others wounded when they attempted to infiltrate towards al-Arsh area in Lahj province, a military official said on Wednesday.
The official said that the attempt was thwarted and defeated as the army and popular forces captured one paid trooper while he fled.
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.
