Dozens of Emirati and Sudanese soldiers, as well as many other Saudi-paid mercenaries, were killed and wounded when the Yemeni national army and popular forces launched a major attack on Monday targeting boats off the port city of Mokha, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba.
The operation took place early Monday morning, said the official.
Last week, Yemeni regime forces backed by Gulf Arab troops recaptured the Red Sea city of al-Mokha in a push that paved the way for an advance on Hodeida, Yemen's main port city.
The United Nations said Friday the Saudi-led coalition had intensified air strikes on Hodeida, possibly trapping civilians and hampering a humanitarian operation to deliver vital food and fuel supplies.
