Yemeni army deals heavy blows to Saudi-backed mercenaries in Ta’izz, western coast
Yemeni Armed Forces have dealt heavy operational blows to Saudi-backed mercenary forces in the southwestern province of Ta’izz, as well as the strategically important stretch of coastline near the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Local media outlets reported that Yemeni military units launched barrages of ballistic missiles at the positions, gatherings and vehicles of Saudi mercenaries on the eastern and western flanks of Ta’izz.
Yemeni sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told local media that the new wave of missile attacks on Saudi-backed mercenary forces has killed at least 105 Saudi-backed mercenaries and wounded dozens of others in the past 24 hours.
Yemeni Armed Forces also advanced towards the al-Bireen area in the al-Maafer district of Ta’izz province, which sits at the crossroads connecting Ta’izz to Aden in southern Yemen.
Its capture would cut off the supply lines of Saudi mercenaries and prevent them from dispatching reinforcements to Ta’izz.
Additionally, Yemeni troops established full control over al-Makazemah and al- Ikad area as they push to take full control of Ta’izz and expel Saudi-sponsored militiamen from the city.
Elsewhere on the western coast in Hudaydah province, heavy clashes are ongoing between Yemeni Armed Forces on one side and Saudi mercenaries on the other.
Fierce clashes have erupted since Thursday across multiple fronts in Ta’izz and the adjacent coastal province of Hudaydah, resulting in casualties for both the Yemeni army and Saudi-backed mercenaries.
Fighting has rekindled in various provinces of Yemen in the past few weeks, as the country endures one of the most critical humanitarian and economic crises in the world.
On July 20, the Sana’a government declared a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia, in response to Riyadh’s “unjust and oppressive siege” on Yemen for nearly 12 years, “exploiting our resources and imposing a complete blockade.”
The Yemeni armed forces have subsequently announced many successful missions targeting Saudi-linked vessels in the Red Sea.
In March 2015, Saudi Arabia, along with its allies, enforced a blockade on Yemen, launching an all-out onslaught supported militarily, politically, and logistically by the United States and certain Western nations.
Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been killed, but Saudi Arabia has not succeeded in obtaining its main objective of reinstating a puppet regime that aligns with its interests.
