Over 90 Saudi Mercenaries Killed in Sa’ada: Yemen Military

At least 190 Saudi mercenaries have been killed or injured in the Yemeni city of Sa’ada, where a massive attack by the kingdom was foiled, the spokesman for Yemen’s armed  forces says, according to Press TV.

According to Brigadier General Yahya Saree, Yemeni forces foiled the Saudi-led attack on Baqim District, killing 90 mercenaries and injuring at least 100 others.

He said the Yemeni forces also cleansed Naseh heights from Saudi mercenaries.

He pointed out that Aseer hospitals were filled with injured and dead, after the arrival of more than fifteen ambulances to them, explaining that the saudi side was suffering a large state of disappointment and frustration after its failure to make any progress.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen on March 26, 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing Ansarullah.

On the fourth anniversary of the war, millions of Yemenis took to the streets of the capital, Sana’a, and other major cities on Monday to mark the anniversary of the Saudi aggression.

The demonstrators carried placards and Yemeni national flags, chanting slogans against Saudi Arabia, Israel and the US, which have been providing military support to the invasion.

The offensive initially consisted of a bombing campaign, but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces into Yemen.

According to a report by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, the Saudi-led war has so far claimed the lives of around 56,000 Yemenis.
