Yemen forces seize 4 UAE armored vehicles, destroy 2 more
Yemeni army forces have destroyed two armored vehicles belonging to the United Arab Emirates and seized four more near the southern Bayda Province, Yemeni television reports.
Al-Masirah television network reported that the Yemeni forces, backed by Ansarullah fighters, seized the Emirati vehicles in Makiras region between Bayda and neighboring Abyan Province.
The report said the Yemeni forces inflicted heavy losses on the Saudi-led forces and al-Qaeda terrorist militants, who were trying to advance toward the Bayda Province.
The television also released footage showing Saudi military hardware being annihilated by Yemeni forces near al-Makhrouq military base along the Saudi-Yemeni border.
Saudi strikes continue unabated
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia on Monday continued with its deadly offensive against its impoverished neighboring Arab country.
Saudi warplanes carried out dozens of airstrikes on Yemeni province of Jawf and Sa’ada. There is no immediate report on possible casualties.
The strikes prompted Yemeni forces to conduct retaliatory attacks against Saudi Arabia. Yemeni fighters fired dozens of rockets at military bases in Jizan region, in southeastern Saudi Arabia. Several rockets were also fired at targets in Dhahran al-Janub.
The developments came a day after Yemeni forces killed and injured a number of Saudi soldiers in a retaliatory attack on the Radif base in the monarchy’s southwestern Jizan region.
Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 – without a UN mandate – in an effort to undermine Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and also restore power to the country’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
The United Nations says the conflict in Yemen has killed more than 4,000 people, nearly half of them civilians, since late March. Local Yemeni sources, however, say the fatality figure is much higher.
