The Yemeni army and popular forces foiled an attempt of Saudi-paid mercenaries to infiltrate towards al-Masrakh district of Taiz province, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Saturday.
Several mercenaries were killed and wounded when they tried to move toward al-Shaqab area in the district.
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 12,000 people have been killed and over 19,343 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.
