Yemeni forces attack Saudi, kill six soldiers

Al-Mistrah television network on Thursday reported that Yemeni army soldiers have conducted a fresh missile attack against al-Shabakah military base in Saudi Arabia’s southern Najran region, killing six Saudi soldiers.

The report also claimed that Yemeni forces carried out a similar attack on the al-Farizah military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern Jizan region, which set the post on fire.

PressTV also reported that “separately on Thursday, a Yemeni military source reported intense clashes between militants loyal to former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, and Houthi Ansarullah fighters in the Sirwah district of the central Ma’rib Province.

“Six pro-Hadi militants and 14 Houthi fighters lost their lives in the clashes over the past 24 hours.

“Yemen’s Khabar news agency said a high-ranking pro-Hadi commander was among the casualties of the Ma’rib scuffles. Other reports said dozens of Saudi mercenaries had been killed in the clashes.

“Saudi Arabia has been leading a brutal military campaign against Yemen for more than two years to eliminate the Houthi movement and reinstall Riyadh-backed Hadi. The Saudi aggression, however, has failed to achieve its goals and killed more than 12,000 Yemenis.”
