Yemeni fighters hit positions of Saudi Arabia’s mercenaries, fatalities reported
Yemeni army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied the Popular Committees, have reportedly mounted an offensive in the southwestern province of Dhale, where dozens of Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi were killed.
An unnamed Yemeni military source told the Arabic-language al-Masirah television network that Yemeni troops and their allies launched an operation against the positions of mercenaries in Maris area of the province on Sunday evening.
Separately, Saudi-led military aircraft carried out three strikes against an area in the Kitaf wa al-Boqe'e district of Yemen’s northwestern mountainous province of Sa’ada. There were, however, no immediate reports about possible casualties and the extent of damage.
Elsewhere in the al-Dhaher district of the same Yemeni province, Saudi-led warplanes launched an air raid; though no reports of casualties and damage were immediately available.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing Hadi’s government back to power and crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives for over the past five years.
