The Arabic-language al-Masirah television network quoted a military source as saying that the allied forces carried out a massive offensive against 13Saudi-led posts.

Dozens of mercenaries were killed and injured in the offensive, noting that the attack lasted overnight on Friday till Saturday morning and was preceded by rocket attacks.

The Saudi air force failed to help its mercenaries and to hinder the advance of the Yemeni allied forces on battlefield, according to the military source.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

The coalition has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of his aggression which is aimed at restoring power to fugitive former president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
