Alwaght- Over 50 Saudi regime troops have been killed following retaliatory attacks Yemen’s central province of Ma’rib and similar targets on the Saudi soil.
According to local media reports on Wednesday, the Yemeni forces hit a Saudi military base occupied by Saudi troops in the central province of Ma’rib, where at least 50 Saudi soldiers were killed.
According to Al Manar TV, the Yemeni army also attacked Saudi positions in the district of al-Khobe in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern border province of Jizan. Reports said five Saudi soldiers were killed in that strike.
A similar number of fatalities on the part of Saudi forces was also reported in the southwestern region of Asir in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, Saudi warplanes conducted seven airstrikes against various Yemeni areas including the city of Sirwah, east of the capital, Sana’a, northwestern province of Hajjah and in the central province of Bayda.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen to impose fugitive president Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed over 6,500 Yemenis, mostly innocent civilians including hundreds of women and children.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah resistance fighters, who are warding off the foreign occupation of their country, Saudi warplanes are indiscriminately targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure.
Yemeni army, backed by popular committees and tribal fighters has been responding to the aggression by targeting several Saudi border military posts and Saudi occupied bases inside Yemen while battling ousted regime militias and al-Qaeda-linked terrorists.
