Alwaght- Yemeni snipers have killed at least seven Saudi troops in retaliatory attacks against the kingdom's brutal aggression on the impoverished state.
A Yemeni military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Arabic-language al-Masirah television network that Yemeni forces and allied Popular Committees fatally shot five troops just outside Hamezah village of Jizan, located 967 kilometers southwest of the capital Riyadh, and al-Shabakah military camp on Friday afternoon.
Later in the day, Yemeni army forces shot and killed two other Saudi troops in Raqabat al-Zour military base of Najran region, located 844 kilometers (524 miles) south of Riyadh.
On Friday morning, Saudi fighter jets carried out three airstrikes against an area in the Razih district of Yemen’s northwestern region of Sa’ada.
Yemeni forces and their local allies have been carrying out successful retaliatory attacks against Saudi-led forces engaged in an illegal aggression on the country since March 2015.
The war has killed nearly 14,000 people since Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies invaded the country to oust the popular Ansarullah movement and restore fugitive president Abed Rabuh Mansour Hadi.
The illegal aggression, backed by the United States and the Israeli regime, has triggered what the UN has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
