The Yemeni army and popular committees frustrated on Wednesday a major attack launched by the Saudi-led mercenaries in Jizan, inflicting heavy human and material losses upon them.

Military Sources reported that the attack, which was supported by the air force, lasted for four hours and that a number of mercenaries were either killed on injured.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition, in a bid to restore control to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is Riyadh’s ally.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured in the strikes launched by the coalition, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

The coalition, which includes in addition to Saudi Arabia and UAE: Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan and Kuwait, has been also imposing a harsh blockade against Yemenis.
