Yemeni forces troops kill five Saudi soldiers
Yemeni army forces, backed by fighters from allied Popular Committees, have killed five Saudi forces in retaliatory attacks inside Saudi Arabia.
Yemeni army sharpshooters killed five Saudi troops near Shabakeh and Ghaviyeh military bases in Khubeh area in Jizan region, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported on Sunday.
Yemeni forces also destroyed a US-made Abrams tank used by the Saudi forces during clashes near the Shabakeh military base.
Yemeni retaliatory rocket attacks against targets within Saudi territory resumed on Sunday as well. The Mosfagh military base in Jizan was hit in one such strike, causing a huge fire at the base.
Yemeni rockets also targeted other Saudi military bases, including Mojazeh, Khurmah and Sho’ab.
However, there is yet no news on the casualties and damage left from these attacks.
Meanwhile, Riyadh’s airstrikes continue to pound targets in Yemen on a daily basis. In one attack, Saudi jets bombed the town of Baqim in Sa’ada Province. In another attack, Saudi bombers hit the town of Munabbih in the same province.
In Ma’rib Province, Saudi jets targeted several areas in Jad’an region, carrying out 20 airstrikes there.
Jad’an has in the past days been the scene of intense fighting between Yemeni forces and mercenary troops hired by Saudi Arabia.
Also in Ma’rib, Saudi jets attacked the town of Sirwah, bombing the region a dozen times.
Yemen has been the target of military strikes by Saudi Arabia since late March last year, when the Saudi military launched strikes to supposedly undermine the popular Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former President Abd Rabbu Mansur Hadi back to power.
Over 8,270 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed and 16,015 others injured since the airstrikes began. The Saudi strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the already impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.
