Alwaght-Yemeni forces have captured a number of Saudi troops during border clashes as the Riyadh regime continues with its military camping against its impoverished southern neighbor.
Alwaght-Army spokesman Sharaf Luqman made the announcement on Friday, saying the Saudi troops were captured in the course of military confrontation along Yemen-Saudi border. This is the first such announcement by the Yemeni Army since the beginning of the Saudi aggression against the impoverished country.
Meanwhile, according to Yemeni reports, fighters with the Popular Committees, including Houthi Ansarullah forces, also launched an attack on Saudi Arabia's Jizan Region, killing at least two Saudi troops.
Saudi Arabia has intensified its aerial bombardment of different Yemeni cities ahead of the talks to take place in Geneva, Switzerland among Yemen's political factions aimed at resolving the crisis in Yemen.
The Riyadh regime launched military aggression against Yemen on March 26. Saudi Arabia is trying to undermine the Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement, now in control of the capital city of Sana’a and several major provinces, and bring back to power Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Saudi Arabia’s war on Yemen has not been endorsed by the UN. Reports say over 4,000 people have been killed and over one million displaced as a result of the conflict in the Arab country. Most of the victims of the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen are women, children, aged and innocent civilians. The Saudi regime forces have also targeted civilian infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, universities, roads and bridges in the impoverished Arab state.
