Yemeni armed forces have dealt a severe blow to Saudi troops in the country’s northern province of al-Jawf, amid escalating fighting between the two sides.
The media bureau of Yemen's Operations Command Center broadcast on Saturday video footage of operations targeting reinforcements and vehicles of Saudi forces in the al-Yatama district of the province.
The footage showed Saudi troops in panic running around to escape the attacks, before military vehicles went up in flames following a series of strikes by Yemeni military units.
Military vehicles and an armored personnel carrier (APC) were seen after Saudi forces retreated from the area in northeastern Jawf.
The Yemeni fighters also confiscated weapons, ammunition and other equipment from Saudi troops, the video footage showed.
Nine killed in Saudi airstrikes on Yemen’s Ta’izz
Meanwhile, at least nine people were killed on Saturday when Saudi fighter aircraft launched a series of airstrikes against a residential neighborhood in the Maqbanah district of Yemen’s southwestern province of Ta’izz.
The al-Masiarh television channel, citing local sources, reported that there were women and children among the victims.
On July 20, the Sana’a administration declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia in response to what it calls “an unjust and oppressive siege” on Yemen that has persisted for nearly 12 years.
The Yemeni military has reported several successful missions targeting vessels linked to Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea.
In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and its allies imposed a blockade on Yemen and launched a large-scale military offensive, with support from the United States and various Western nations in terms of military, political, and logistical resources.
The ongoing war has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis. However, Saudi Arabia has failed to achieve its objective of reinstating a puppet government that serves its interests.
