On Friday, Yemeni forces could wrest complete control of al-Jaberi village, located 966 kilometers (600 miles) south of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, without any resistance from the kingdoms army soldiers, Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported.
An unspecified number of Saudi soldiers were also killed when Yemeni soldiers and fighters from Popular Committees stormed al-Mosfaq military camp in Saudi Arabias al-Tawal region.
The development came as Saudi fighter jets pounded al-Nahdin district in the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa later in the day, though there were no immediate reports on possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 without a United Nations mandate in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.
Christophe Boulierac, spokesman for the UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF), said on October 2 that 505 children have been killed and 702 others wounded since late March.
According to Rupert Colville, the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the total number of civilian casualties in the past six months reaches 7,217, including 2,355 killed and 4,862 wounded.
However, local sources have given a much higher death toll, with Yemens Civil Coalition saying theviolence has claimed the lives of some 6,400 people.
