Alwaght- Yemeni army and popular forces retaliated recent round of Saudi airstrikes against their country by attacking a number of border posts south of Saudi Arabia.
During the attacks, snipers of the popular forces managed to shoot and kill four Saudi forces in military bases that were crossing points for Saudi troops.
The forces also killed three Saudi troops in the al-Dhabra military base of Jizan region, located 969 kilometers south of the capital, Riyadh, on Saturday evening, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.
Separately, Yemeni soldiers and Popular Committees fighters launched an attack against a base in the al-Rabu'ah town of Asir region, killing a Saudi trooper there.
Earlier, Yemeni forces and their allies fired a barrage of artillery rounds at al-Mostahdeth camp in Jizan, but no immediate reports of possible casualties and damage were available.
Also on Saturday, Yemeni forces fired several missiles at Jizan’s al-Kars military outpost, but no casualties were reported.
The developments came on the same day that Saudi jets launched three aerial attacks against Majz district in Yemen’s mountainous northwestern province of Saada. There were no immediate reports of casualties and the extent of damage.
Saudi Arabia has been engaged in a deadly campaign against Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to forcefully reinstate former Yemeni President who resigned and took refuge in Riyadh.
The UN International Children's Fund (UNICEF) says 7.4 million Yemeni children are in dire need of medical help, and 370,000 run the risk of severe acute malnutrition.
