The missile and artillery units of the Yemeni army and Ansarullah movement launched attacks on strategic positions in the three regions of Najran, Asir and Jazan in Southern Saudi Arabia.

Al-Masirah news channel quoted a Yemeni military source as saying that his forces have destroyed the Saudi military forces’ al-Horam base in Najran with several Katyusha missiles.

Also the artillery units of the army and Ansarullah blew up the Saudi forces’ positions and their equipment at al-Bayda hill in Najran as well as the Saudi military men’s arms cache in al-Sadis base.

They also smashed the Saudi army’s positions in al-Ma’arizeh base in Jazan and Hadiqah al-Rabou’ah base in Asir region.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 14,300 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

The cholera outbreak in Yemen which began in April, has also claimed 2,000 lives and has infected 500,000, as the nation has been suffering from what the World Health Organization (WHO) describes as the “largest epidemic in the world” amid a non-stop bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia. Also Riyadh’s deadly campaign prevented the patients from traveling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.

According to reports, the cholera epidemic in Yemen, which is the subject of a Saudi Arabian war and total embargo, is the largest recorded in modern history.
