Scores of Saudi troopers, mercenaries slain, injured in Yemeni army offensives



Press TV - Scores of Saudi soldiers and Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi�have lost their lives when Yemeni army soldiers and fighters from allied Popular Committees�launched separate offensives against their positions in the kingdom�s border regions.

Yemeni troops and their allies fired three domestically-developed missiles at the gatherings of Saudi troopers and their mercenaries in al-Khobe�district of�the kingdom�s Jizan region, located 966 kilometers (600 miles) south of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Wednesday evening, leaving several of them dead or injured.

Several Saudi soldiers and Saudi-backed militiamen were also killed and injured, when Yemeni troops and fighters from Popular Committees targeted their camps west of al-Majazah�area and near al-Alab border crossing�in Asir region with a barrage of Katyusha rockets and artillery rounds.

Later in the day, Saudi missiles and mortar shells rained down on residential areas in the Baqim district of Yemen�s northwestern province of Sa�ada.

There were, however, no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of�bringing the government of Hadi back to power and crushing the country�s popular Ansarullah movement.

Some�15,000 Yemenis have been killed and�thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
