Yemeni Forces Kill 100 Saudi-Led Troops

Alwaght- More than 100 Saudi-led troops have been killed by Yemeni forces in retaliatory forces over the last two days.

According to Yemeni news agency, Saba, at least 50 Saudi mercenaries were killed in a failed attempt to advance on Serwah district of Mareb province.

A security official said that over 30 mercenaries were injured in the failed attempt they carried out to advance towards Kawfal area in Serwah district.

He pointed out that among the killed is a field leader called "Salah al-Shaddadi" and eight of his guards.

Meanwhile Yemeni forces have managed to kill at least 50 Saudi troops, including commanders, in a ballistic missile attack in the country’s northern Jawf province.

According to Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah news website, the Yemeni army, backed by Popular Committees loyal to the Ansarullah movement, targeted a Saudi military installation in Beir al-Maraziq region with a Qaher 1 ballistic missile in the early hours of Wednesday, added that a large number of Saudi troopers have also sustained injuries in the attack.

The Yemeni surface-to-surface missile also destroyed a number of military equipment of the installation and inflicted heavy damage to its infrastructure.

Elsewhere at least two Saudi soldiers were killed and a military vehicle was destroyed when the army and committees bombed several Saudi military sites in Jizan.

A military official said Tuesday two Saudi snipers were killed in Faridha and Qaem Zabid sites, pointing out that the army and committees’ forces destroyed a Saudi military vehicle in the direction of al-Ramdha military site.

Yemenis carry out these attacks in retaliation for brutal Saudi air, land and sea aggression, launched nearly one year ago with the objective of undermining the popular Ansarullah movement and restore to power the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

Over 8,400 people, among them nearly 2,300children, have been killed and almost 16,100 others injured since the onset of the aggression. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, factories and mosques.
