Also in the Al Najd region of Sirwah district, west of the central province of Marib, the Yemeni army and the allied Popular Committees killed and injured a number of Mansour Hadi mercenaries.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni army and the allied Popular Committees also targeted the gathering site of Mansour Hadi mercenaries in Al Jarrah northwest of Taiz.

The Yemeni forces have also repelled the attack of Mansour Hadi’s mercenaries and al Qaeda terrorists in Qife region located at the northeast of Al Bayda province and killed and injured a number of mercenaries and terrorists.

In another development, the forces of the Yemeni army and Popular Committees, in retaliatory attacks, pounded Al-Fawaz and al-Makhrouq al-Kabir military bases at the kingdom’s southern province of Najran and also Asir with artillery shells.

In the meantime, as the result of explosion of a cluster bomb dropped by the Saudi-led coalition warplanes in the Al Hameli region of Mawza district at the southwestern province of Taiz, one Yemeni martyred and three others were injured.

That is while, the Saudi-led coalition warplanes’ attacks on Yemen is continuing, and they bombed Amad and Jerban regions in Sanhan district south of Yemeni capital, Sana'a for eight times on Saturday.

Yemeni army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied Popular Committees, have increased attacks against positions held by Saudi mercenaries in several provinces across the conflict-ridden country in the past two months. At least 57 Saudi regime’s serviceman were killed in Yemen in September, the Saudi media reported.

The attacks against Saudi forces came in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the Saudi-led coalition.

Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than two and half years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to Hadi.

Over 12,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
